The vineyard
The grapes originate from the Pioneer Block 1 family vineyard, located on flat land in the lower Wairau Valley. The deep, fertile soils feature excellent drainage, which, combined with the cooler climate of the area, allows for a slow and balanced ripening of the fruit.
Winemaking
Harvesting takes place in the cool of the evening to preserve the freshness of the grapes. Following a rapid pressing to minimize skin contact, the juice undergoes fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts.
Why buy it
This white wine stands out for its varietal typicity and the purity of its tropical and herbal aromas. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a Marlborough wine with a distinct mineral character and vegan-friendly certification.
