"Offering elegantly lifted aromas of fresh pear, rockmelon and gala apple with a lovely floral overtone, it’s juicy and flavoursome on the palate with bright fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel. Upfront and very tasty" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020
Aromatically alluring with stone fruit, fresh pear and a hint of ginger spice, the complex, juicy flavours are balanced with a subtle lusciousness.
The 2020 vintage will be remembered for many reasons. The driest summer on record allowed for perfect ripening conditions. Late summer brought Marlborough’s trademark cooler nights that are so important for aromatics and retention of acidity. 2020 would’ve been a stress-free harvest, if it wasn’t for COVID-19! The introduction of a nationwide lockdown to slow the spread of the virus coincided with the beginning of our harvest. Their vineyard and winery teams moved incredibly fast to adhere to very strict distancing and hygiene protocols to allow them to continue to operate. Despite the challenges, they're delighted with the quality and flavour concentration in the 2020 wines.
Overlooking the ocean in dry and windswept Blind River, they grow grow grapes in one of the harshest environments in Marlborough. Their grapes enjoy the region’s long sunshine hours, while the ocean breeze keeps things cooler and drier. Pinot Gris grapes were harvested, before being gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After harvest, the fruit was gently pressed and cool fermented with selected yeast strains to retain fruit flavour.
