Tasting Notes
Aroma
Bright and lifted on the nose, Exiled opens
with notes of white nectarine, green apple,
elderflower, and lime zest, all wrapped in a
cool thread of wet stone and sea breeze.
The aromatics are crystalline; precise, pure,
and quietly exotic.
Palate
On the palate, the wine is juicy and mouth filling,
with a tension that hums beneath the surface.
Natural residual sugar offers width, balanced
perfectly by electric acidity and a fine, mineral
edge. Flavours of mandarin peel, honeysuckle,
and stone fruit unfold with each sip, leading
to a long finish that feels both refreshing and
composed with an element of natural carbon
dioxide adding a light spritz the finish.
Utterly drinkable, yet far from simple - the 2025
Exiled is a compelling off-dry white, and a standout
summer companion. A wine of clarity, coastal
character, and quiet confidence.
Vinification
Much of the fruit was hand-picked early in the
season retaining vibrant acid and green citrus
characters, then progressively throughout the
season the fruit was picked at increasing
levels of ripeness to follow the flavour curve
into mandarin, ginger and a small element of
noble fruit.
Crushed to the press and settled overnight prior
to racking with varying levels of juice solids
retained in the juice, fermentation was long
and cool, carried out in stainless steel tanks
with selected aromatic yeasts, stopping naturally
with a modest amount of residual sugar retained
to balance the bright acid line.
Region Notes
The 2025 Exiled was harvested from hillside
vineyards on the eastern side of Waiheke, and
the coastal vineyards that fringe the shores of
Ponui Island.
