Winemaking and Viticulture
Winemakers:

Stewart Maclennan 

Region:

Waihopai and Wairau River Confluence.

Terroir:

Soils: Windblown silts containing clay (loess) over free draining river stone.

Topography: Flat approximately 78 metres above sea level

Climate: Maritime. While this is a hot site during the day the heat rapidly dissipates in the evening creating a large diurnal temperature range essential for acid and flavour preservation.

Regional characteristics and contribution to uniqueness of flavours:

A warm, free draining moderate vigour site that favours the aromatic varietals.

Winemaking:

The grapes were gently harvested and pressed. The free run juice was fermented in stainless steel with the selected yeast M2. Post fermentation the wine was left on lees to add complexity and roundness to the palate. Components of two selected parcels were blended post ferment, lightly fined and carefully finished for bottling.

Viticulture:

3 cane vertical shoot positioning (VSP). The canopy is maintained through the fruit zone moderating the level of exposure the grape has to sunlight. This helps maintain a certain varietal fruit driven expression.
