Tasting Notes

Inviting and attractive aromatics provide immediate focus of what is about to come: a wave of classic florals underpinned with cherry and raspberry.

Vinification

Includes 25% whole bunch fermentation and 13 months ageing in French oak, with 20% new.

A certain Pommard-like earthiness is a thing here. It does Central Otago proud. An outstanding release."
