- Lifted aromas of passionfruit, melon, and blackcurrant combine with subtle mineral notes. The rich and full palate is exquisitely balanced with vibrant notes of passionfruit, grapefruit, and guava, leading to a long mineral finish.
The grapes were transported to the winery quickly and immediately pressed to minimise skin contact. After cold settling, the juice from each batch was fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks with selected yeast strains. Each batch was assessed for quality, and only the best components were selected for this premium blend. The wine was made in an unoaked style to preserve the purity of fruit and expressive aromatics.

Winery | The fruit is sourced from a selection of vineyards located predominantly in the lower Wairau subregion. This region is renowned for producing Sauvignon Blanc wines with a heightened flavour expression. These vineyards are 100% sustainable and trained using the Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) method. This is the most common training system in the Marlborough region, as it helps to facilitate practices such as leaf removal, shoot removal and cluster thinning. The vines are irrigated during the spring and summer months to avoid stress. They are carefully monitored to balance water stress and vine development optimally. Each vineyard block is harvested at optimum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness. |
