Aromas of citrus, toffee apple and rock melon. Subtle oak adds a cashew complexity. This wine is freshly textured with great length and a mineral complexity.

    Vineyards and Winemaking

    This wine is from grapes grown in our Riverview and Kinross vineyards in Hawkes Bay.

    The grapes for this wine were harvested and transported to our Riverview winery. The fruit was pressed into stainless steel tanks. A combination of tank and barrel ferments using a range of yeast strains including PDM, VL1 and Maurivin “Fusion”. Following fermentation the wine was inoculated for malolactic fermentation. The wine was transferred to our Katikati winery for finishing and bottling.
