Tasting Notes
Aroma
Restrained elderflower florals with grapefruit, white peach and pears, followed by
underlying complex smoky-flint notes.
Appearance
Pale straw.
Palate
Lovely saline acidity and bright citrus fruit characters burst on the palate, offering
refreshment from the first sip. Fruit sweetness compliments and balances the acid
backbone, finishing dry with fine phenolics intertwined with the acidity.
Vinification
Fruit is hand picked and whole bunch pressed prior to cold settling then fermentation
using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 5 months in stainless steel tanks then
bottled without fining.
Cellaring Potential
Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for 5+ years.
Vintage Notes
Spring started warm and dry, with budburst timing about 7-10 days earlier than average, with only one significant
frost. Idyllic sunny and warm conditions, set up one of the best flowering and fruit sets across all varieties in many
decades. December provided a good dose of heat with multiple days over 30 ˚C and well spaced rainfalls to
replenish the soils. Dry but cloudy conditions dominated January slowing development nicely, then becoming
sunny from February onwards. 2025 proved to be a season of patience. With generous yields and largely favourable
weather over the growing season, the fruit took some time to ripen fully. Thankfully, Marlborough’s classic dry and
warm conditions kept fruit quality high over what was our longest harvest period (46 days) in 24 years.
