Hints of Cherry with an overlay of dried spice and cloves. Layers of bright red fruit with hints of vanillin oak creating a finely balanced and long finish.
Grapes were grown in the Waihopai Valley at their Johnson Estate in the top terraces with clay/silt loam lense over free draining alluvium.
The 2020 season followed a similar pattern to last year. A warm spring allowed the vines to escape frosts, while an above-average rainfall led to early flowering. The temperatures in January and February were more moderate which alleviated some of the effects of drought and lead to clean, disease free fruit.
Selected estate vineyard blocks were kept separate until final blending. The grape bunches are mostly destemmed and all fermented in open vats. After gentle plunging during fermentation to extract colour and flavour the wine was pressed off skins and matured for 11 months prior to blending.
