Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromas of ripe citrus peel, candy apple and wet stone.
Appearance
Green hues and a pale straw colour.
Palate
The palate is juicy and mouthwatering, with a saline thread that weaves its way through flavours of preserved lemon and stone fruits. There is a charming texture in the wine that creates length and persistence, supported by naturally vibrant acidity.
Vinification
The winemaking in great years like 2024 isn’t
complicated, all vineyards and sub-blocks are kept as
separate as possible. Freshly pressed juice was cold
settled and left to clarify for several days before
racking and then fermenting at cooler temperatures
with selected yeasts in stainless steel. A small portion
of juice from our estate is fermented in large,
seasoned oak cuves to add texture and mid-palate weight.
The wine components are then left to rest on
their lees before grading and blending. Bottled in
September with no animal products used, this wine is
vegan friendly.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy over the next three years or more when cellared correctly.
Vintage Notes
A truly remarkable growing season that was marked by
dry, warm weather. A significant late season frost and
a cooler start to flowering in December created low
yields across much of the region. As an average our
estate and grower blocks were 25-30% down on
average, with a surprising number of Sauvignon
vineyards yielding single digits. Pristinely clean fruit on
the vine and smaller than usual bunches had us
quietly brimming with excitement.
With no disease pressure, and the driest summer in
Marlborough for over 90 years harvest started on the
13th of March and was more of a sprint than a
marathon, with the last block coming in on the 30th of
March. The earliest and quickest harvest in many
years.
Food Matching
A range of seafood dishes, hard cheeses, and crisp green salads with fresh herbs and olive oil.
