The grapes for this wine is a combination of hand and select machine harvesting. After being transported to our Riverview winery, and after a light press a portion of the juice was transferred direct to barrel where it was allowed to undergo wild fermentation. The remaining juice was cold settled for 24 hours before being inoculated with selected yeasts and sent to barrel, with a total of 27% new French oak. Following fermentation, the 30% of wine was inoculated for Malolactic fermentation. After approximately 10 months in oak, the wine was transferred to our Katikati winery for finishing and bottling in November 2024.
Food Pairing: Superb with chicken and creamy risotto, or smoked salmon.
