Vineyards and viticulture

Situated in Marlborough’s stunning Awatere Valley between the Pacific Ocean and Mount Tapuaenuku, the vineyard benefits from a cool, maritime-influenced microclimate. The grapes are grown on only two or three canes (vine branches), as opposed to the usual four, to limit yields and increase the intensity of aromas and flavours. 2024 was a great vintage with ideal conditions. We harvested the fruit on 20th and 21st March at optimum ripeness.

Winemaking

To highlight the site’s natural character, the winemaking approach is straightforward. After gently pressing the grapes, most of the juice was fermented in stainless steel with selected yeasts to preserve freshness, however, a small portion (10%) was wild fermented in old French barriques for added texture and complexity. Each block was vinified separately, then blended to achieve expression and balance.

Food Pairing

Shellfish (especially oysters)! Or any seafood that is simply prepared with just a squeeze of lemon and hint of seasoning. Also delicious with spicy foods, goat’s cheese, salads, asparagus and other vegetables.
