Tasting Notes
Aroma
The Exiled 2024 has a beautiful fruit expression, freshly picked
nectarine, green apple and grilled limes with a matching structure;
fresh, crisp and juicy.
Palate
A long palate highlights the acidity of fresh frui
balanced with the natural sugar culminating in a dry clean finish with a
hint of saltiness for a final flourish.
Vinification
Vintage 2024 is best described as ‘small but beautiful’. An exceptional
growing season, very warm and settled with vineyards in perfect
health and balance which carried through into the fruit which looked
incredible.
Sourced from both estate vineyards on both Ponui Island and Waiheke
Island the fruit is dry farmed and hand harvested. On arrival to the
winery the fruit is macerated into the press and pressed to tank for
24 hours of settling. The juice is then racked slightly cloudy to provide
some tannin and the ferments are stopped when the balance of sugar,
acid, tannin, and alcohol are achieved. Natural sugar and carbon
dioxide from the fermentation are retained in the wine.
