Description

Region: Rapaura, Wairua Plains, Marlborough, New Zealand.

Winemaking: The grapes were machine harvested in the cool morning and the juice was cold settled for 48 hours before being racked.  Ten percent of the juice is transferred into 5-year-old barrels and the remainder to stainless steel for fermentation with a range of yeast strains.  We aimed for a long, cool fermentation to retain the varietal characteristics and left the wine on fine lees to build palate texture.

Tasting Notes: Sweet nectarine, white peach, and honeysuckle greets you on the nose. Whilst a mellow stone fruit character comes in on the palate with a generous but soft texture.

Technical: Alcohol - 13.0%.  TA - 6.3g/l.  pH - 3.34g/l.  RS - 4.7g/l.  Contains sulphites.  BioGro certified organic.

Winemaker: Allan McWilliams.
