The vineyard
The grapes are sourced from selected vineyards in the Wairau Valley, characterized by gravel soils, and the Southern Valleys, dominated by deep clays. Iconic parcels such as Barracks, Motukawa, and Mustang contribute diversity and complexity to the fruit profile.
Ideal combination
Winemaking
The harvest is done by hand, and whole clusters are gently pressed. The must ferments with wild yeasts in oak barrels, where the wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation and ages for 11 months to gain texture and structure.
