Description
- Dry style
- French oak
- Poached pear & ginger
"Pristine and delightfully elegant, the bouquet shows white flesh stone fruit, poached pear, lemon peel and white floral aromas. The palate delivers fine focus and silky flow, wonderfully supported by refined texture and bright acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2023
"Bright, fresh and lifted aromatic bouquet of white spice and fresh green pear, there’s a white nectarine and light citrus flesh quality with a whisper of lemon. Additional scents of white flowers, ginger spice and lees layer in shape, form and depth. A dry wine as it touches the palate, flavours reflect the bouquet with white fleshed fruits, spice and harmony with the acidity and alcohol. Well made, taut and youthful. Best drinking from early 2024 through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jul 2023
Pale straw colour in the glass. Pear, ginger with a hint of orange blossom. Wrapping mouth feel, fine acidity giving length to finish.
Sourced from our dry farmed Havelock Hills home block. Vine age of 15 years. Selectively handpicked.
Whole bunch pressed. The juice was separated to free run and press portions and cold settled. The free juice was then racked off solids and filled to tank for temperature-controlled fermentation with an aromatic yeast. Press juice was filled to seasoned French oak puncheons. Post fermentation held on light lees to impart additional palate texture, minimal fining prior to bottling.
