Description

This vibrant and aromatic wine shows lifted aromas of gooseberry, herbs and citrus, with a sustained mineral and lime finish. At its best now and over the next few years. We suggest pairing it with grilled flounder, or fresh oysters for the complete experience!

Vineyard

The vineyard soils are typical of the band of free-draining, fine alluvial loams running through the Opaki/Gladstone areas and south to Martinborough, coating the ancient riverbeds of the Waingawa and Ruamahanga Rivers. A relatively long and dry growing season characterises the region, with summer days typically reaching 28-32 C. The diurnal difference increased markedly in late summer and early autumn, resulting in relatively cool temperatures in the last month of ripening.
