VITICULTURE & WINEMAKING Marlborough experienced rather high rainfall during the growing season, resulting in high moisture levels throughout the vineyard. Dewy mornings combined with good crops created a sense of nervousness heading into vintage. However, the weather remained stable, which meant we could pick our fruit when desired and the concentration and health of the fruit was outstanding. The resulting wine is showing the wonderful hallmarks that our Marlborough vineyards are known for - highly concentrated flavours, with underlying purity and minerality. The grapes were harvested in ideal condition, picking at the point of optimum flavour development. Parcel of grapes were picked and fermented separately, allowing us to enhance varietal character using carefully selected yeast strains. A long, cool fermentation took place to retain purity of flavours. The wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
