Description

  • Dry style
  • Fresh citrus
  • Passionfruit
  • Juicy acidity

A pale straw colour in the glass. Aromatics of citrus and herbaceous notes with a hint of ripe lime. Fresh citrus and passionfruit flavours balance the juicy acidity, which leads into a long and refreshing finish. 

It was an overall good growing season in Marlborough. Cloudy and humid conditions dominated the season, which, when combined with a rainy February, increased disease pressure. The lead up to harvest was relatively settled, albeit cooler than normal. As a result the fruit was given plenty of time to ripen before being harvested in March.

Parcels were brought into the winery, quickly pressed and run to tank to protect from oxidation. The juice was settled, then racked, warmed and inoculated with  range of aromatic yeasts. After approximately four weeks the ferments were finished. The wines were chilled and topped so that the aromatic flavours were released from the yeast lees. After another four weeks the wines were racked, and warmed ready for blending, after which they were fined using traditional methods to promote vitality and freshness.

Food Pairing: Crispy chicken with a fresh, green salad.
