- This wine offers a delightful combination of intense aromas and flavours. It is characterized by the vibrant notes of passion fruit, complemented by subtle hints of gooseberry and herbal tones. The mouthwatering acidity is perfectly balanced by a full-flavoured palate, culminating in a long, lingering finish.
The grapes were pressed with minimal skin contact to maintain the pure fruit flavours. The must was then cool fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel to retain its freshness and zesty character.
It is a full and crisp wine with intense aromas and flavours of passion fruit, underlying gooseberry and herbal tones. Mouth-watering acidity is balanced by a full-flavoured palate that leads to a long lingering finish.

Winery | The grapes are carefully selected from several vineyards in Marlborough. Marlborough is a dry, sunny viticultural region situated at the northeastern tip of the South Island, New Zealand. It stretches along the Pacific Coast and consists of two parallel valleys, the Wairau and the Awatere. The vines grow in mixed alluvial soils, which are geologically young and have been distributed along the valley's floors by the Wairau and Awatere rivers. Ideal for viticulture, these alluvial soils have good drainage and low fertility, so the vine is forced to deepen its roots for hydration and nutrients, resulting in berries that are concentrated in flavour. |
