Description
PRODUCTION
Harvested from our Cable Station Road vineyard in the Awatere Valley, grapes were gently pressed with minimal skin contact and underwent a long, cool fermentation. Only free-run juice and light pressings were used in the blend. The juice was inoculated with specially developed, aromatic yeast strains to intensify varietal character and fermented in French oak barrels before being aged on lees for 10 months. Following fermentation wines were batch selected and blended to create a perfectly balanced wine.
TASTING NOTES
This wine is expressive and fruit-driven with notes of lime, golden apple, passionfruit and lemon peel. The palate is textured and soft with a zesty finish.
