Wine St yle A combination of modern and traditional winemaking techniques has produced a wine with intense fruit, crisp acidity and fine texture. Vineyards This wine is produced from grapes grown in the renowned Brancott region of Marlborough. Careful vineyard management enabled us to pick the grapes at optimal maturity resulting in great flavour and acid balance. Winemaking The grapes were harvested in the cool of the evening and immediately pressed to retain the delicate fruit flavours and aromas. The j uice was cool fermented and then allowed to rest on the yeast lees for five months. A small portion of the j uice was fermented and aged in new French oak barriques and then blended with the tank fermented wine prior to bottling. (12 x 75 cl)

This wine is a blend of fruit from our vineyards with varying soil characteristics. Fruit sourced from the Estate vineyard on the upper terraces encompassed five parcels of varied Waimakiriri type soils of alluvial origin with free-draining basalt pebbles. This was supplemented by portions from the Tatou and Raupo vineyards, where the soils are a mixture of alluvial shingles with slightly higher clay contents. Indigenous yeasts and a selection of cultured yeasts were utilised for fermentation, for added complexity and texture. A small percentage of the blend was fermented in older French barriques to add depth, which when combined with regular batonnage, contributes a yeasty creaminess to fill the mid-palate. The indigenous yeast, barrel-fermentation, and extended lees contact are all used to contribute complexity, texture, and integration to this wine. (12 x 75 cl)

A ripe, lush style of Sauvignon entirely fermented and aged in French oak. The concentration of ripe gooseberry fruit flavours is subtley enhanced by the undertone of creamy oak. Fine acidity gives balance and persistence. (6 x 75 cl)
