Tasting Notes

Maturation

Following pressing, the wine was transferred to both seasoned and new French oak puncheons, where it completed malolactic fermentation and matured undisturbed for 18 months. Dreadnought was then blended and held in tank for a further 3 months prior to bottling.

Vinification

Fruit was hand-harvested from our steep hillside vineyards on Waiheke’s eastern reaches. Bunches were mostly de-stemmed, with a small portion of whole clusters retained to enhance aromatic lift and texture along with some 100% whole bunch components for further complexity in the blend. Fermentations were conducted in open-top vessels with gentle pump overs to extract fine tannin and structure, without overworking the must. Indigenous yeasts were used in our natural approach to red winemaking.

Winemakers Comments

The 2022 Dreadnought continues our classical, restrained approach to Syrah, focussing on preserving site character and varietal purity.
