Vineyard

Fruit is chosen from these two renowned Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc regions to create a delicious, expressive wine. Fruit from the Wairau Valley brings bright tropical fruit underlined by acidity. Awatere Valley fruit provides richness and depth with notes of herb and a dry finish.

Viticulture

Favourable weather conditions ensured a successful growing season in Marlborough. Throughout the season, rainfall reached 95% of the long- term average ensuring good water supply. With variable weather conditions, this gave low to moderate yields across Marlborough’s sub-regions which resulted in looser bunches and ensured quality fruit. Sauvignon Blanc fruit benefited from the cooler evenings, resulting in slow flavour accumulation and vibrant natural acidity.

Vinification

Winemaking aimed to emphasise the vineyards and amplify our wonderful fruit. Following a gentle pressing, we started with carefully selected yeasts added to the juice to start fermentation. These yeasts were chosen to help build texture, weight and aromatics. Parcels of fruit were batch fermented with fermentation stopped when the perfect balance of natural sweetness and classic Marlborough acidity was achieved.
