Winemaking & Viticulture:

The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness from a selection of vineyards in Marlborough’s Awatere and Wairau Valleys. After pressing and cold settling the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to enhance the purity of varietal flavours. Texture was enhanced by regular lees stirring post fermentation. The individual batches were selected on quality then blended together before balancing and stabilising ready for bottling.
