Vineyard
Bridge Pa has some of the oldest soils on the Heretaunga Plains. They have free draining alluvium deposits of eroded ash, loess and underlying sediments from the surrounding hill sides. Underneath these deposits is where the famous “red metals” are found.
Vinification
30% whole bunches were kept for structure and aromatics. During fermentation the tank was foot plunged once a day. This fermented naturally and no additions were made at any time, as with all of the wines! Rested in neutral oak. No fining, filtration, sulphur or enzymes. Only 3 barrels made.
