Description

Bespoke wines offer an experience that departs from the norm. It’s where our winemaker uses free reign to craft superior small-parcel lots according to season, be they different in varietal composition, wine style or a varietal normally blended demanding release as a singular expression. Each wine is an exciting discovery. They are unconventional, tailor-made, rare, special … unique!

    Vineyards and Winemaking

    The grapes for this generous wine were grown in the Central Otago region, on low yielding vines. After a long hot summer and the vines in perfect health the grapes were picked at ideal ripeness and flavour profile.
    The grapes were gently crushed and allowed to cold soak for 3 days to extract important colour and flavour components. Fermentation proceeded with light plunging for further colour, flavour and fine tannin extraction. After a 10 day post ferment skin contact regime, the resulting wine was then sent to barrel for twelve months ageing in quality French oak (35% new wood) to enhance its natural structure. The wine is un-fined to preserve the natural structure but cross flow filtered prior to bottling on 12th October 2023 under screwcap closure.
