Exhibits aromatics and flavours of dark brambly fruits including cherry and plum with notes of herbs and spice. With its subtle oak influence, this is a fruit forward style and a fine match with food.
The fruit was destemmed and soaked before fermentation with wild yeast in open topped fermenters. Hand plunging employed to gently extract tannin and colour. When dry the wine was pressed to both tank and barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged in French oak barriques for 11 months before blending and bottling.

The grapes for this wine were sourced from two key vineyards; one in the Awatere valley, giving bright fruit aromas and the other in the sub-region of the Southern valleys, contributing ripe, structured tannin. The vines are trained on an upright vertical shoot positioned trellis and managed intensively to produce low yields of excellent quality fruit. Shoot thinning, bunch thinning and leaf plucking are all undertaken in the pursuit of quality.
