Description

- White nectarine

- Elegant weight
"It's delicately lifted on the nose showing crunchy apple, white flesh nectarine, lemon peel and floral notes, followed by a finely textured palate displaying elegant weight and smooth flow. Well structured by bright acidity, finishing lingering and refreshing. Style: Off-dry. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit Sep 2021
The fruit was hand picked from a vineyard site in the south of Martinborough.
After destemming, the juice was given some skin contact time in the press, before a long and slow press cycle to maximise flavour and some phenolic extraction. After 48 hours of cold settling, the juice was racked to a stainless-steel tank where it was left to start fermentation spontaneously. Fermentation took place over a period of three weeks at an average temperature of 15ºC, and the wine was chilled to 0ºC to maintain a small amount of residual sugar for balance. The wine was then aged in tank on its yeast lees for 3 months before protein stabilisation and filtration.
