The grapes for this wine came from our Tantallon and Campbells Brook vineyards in Hawkes Bay. The grapes for this wine were machine harvested and transported to our Riverview winery where they were pressed with a fraction of the juice going to barrel for fermentation and the remainder being fermented in stainless steel. A variety of yeasts were used but predominantly 58W3. Following maturation in both oak and stainless, the wine was blended and tinkered to our Katikati winery for final finishing and bottling.
Perfumed aromas of ripe peach and vanilla spice. The palate displays rich stone fruit, tangerine and honeysuckle flavours supported by a long oily finish. This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared for up to 5 years.
