Partially barrel fermented, richly textured and complex. Notes of citrus, tropical fruit, crushed herbs and flint. Mouth-watering minerality and intense fruit concentration. Fresh, juicy, and persistent finish.

With texture and complexity, fruit for this wine is grown using organic practices on our Arapoto block, high above the Awatere River. Richly textured, complex, uniquely Awatere. Upper Awatere Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand. Arapoto (Short Path) Block. Planted 2002. 5.06ha. Stafford moderately deep silt loam soil.

Sustainably grown grapes using organic practices. Excellent spring conditions over flowering and fruitset resulted in fruit levels well above average. An unusually cool February led to clear and warm weather over late summer, resulting in ideal harvest conditions at the end of March.

Harvested using a modern machine harvester in the early morning when the grapes were cool. The majority of grapes are pressed into stainless steel tanks, with a small portion pressed directly to older French oak barrels for fermentation with wild yeast. After fermentation the wine is carefully blended, creating a wine with outstanding texture and length. 2300 cases produced.
