Description
Region: Rapaura, Wairau Plains, Marlborough, New Zealand.
Winemaking: The grapes were hand harvested, bunch sorted, and gently whole bunch pressed. The free run portion was settled for 24 hours, and the cloudy juice was transferred to 225 litre barrels (70% stainless steel and 30% seasoned oak) for fermentation. A mixture of half indigenous and half cultured yeasts on the portions was used for complexity. The wine was left on full ferment lees for 8 months prior to racking and bottling.
Tasting Notes: This Grüner Veltliner has a complex bouquet of pear drops and kaffir lime with a mineral palate of mandarin oranges, grapefruit and white pepper characters finishing with a crisp acidity.
Technical: Alcohol - 13.0%. pH - 3.16g/l. TA - 7.0g/l. RS - 2.8g/l. Contains sulphites. Certified organic and vegan friendly.
Winemaker: Allan McWilliams & Jordan Hogg.
