A combination of hand and machine picked fruit. Fermented in stainless steel at both cool and steady temperatures with cultured yeasts to maintain good flavour and aromatics with small portions fermented in oak Fuders. After blending, wines were left for three months on full lees to continue palate weight development. Integration of the oak components with the stainless steel built mid-palate texture and integrated the various expressions of terroir.

Mature vines from the stony soils around the Marlborough’s Renwick township blended with select parcels from the Wairau Valley.
Harvested 30 March - 9 April 2023.

Beautiful aromas of lime, crushed blackcurrant leaf with hints of passionfruit and meadow. Invigorating flavours of lime, nectarine, passionfruit and balanced with lovely saline acidity and a distinct stony texture.
