Tasting Notes
Pronounced lemon, nashi pear and floral notes combine to
create an attractive, fresh bouquet. The palate is dry yet
fleshy with lovely, ripe fruit flavours and mouth-coating
texture. The wine finishes with a clean crispness, balanced
acidity and long-lasting fruit characters.
Vineyards and viticulture
The grapes for this wine were grown at our flagship vineyard
in the Waihopai Valley. Meticulous viticulture with a particular
focus on moderate yields provided grapes with lovely weight
and flavour concentration. 2023 was a very good vintage with
lots of sunshine and dry weather through harvest.
Food Match
Spicy foods, especially Thai flavours and coconut-based
curries, also pâtés and terrines, salmon, chicken and pork
dishes. Very enjoyable also as a glass on its own.
