Winemaker's notes
The fruit was picked at optimal ripeness and gently pressed to preserve purity and finesse. After a brief settling, the juice was racked off solids and fermented in premium French oak, enhancing aromatic complexity and texture. The wine was aged on lees with regular bâtonnage to build mid-palate weight and depth. It was then carefully racked, blended, stabilised, and filtered prior to bottling.
Vineyard
Seaview
Our Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is exposed to some of the toughest growing conditions in Marlborough; high sunshine and wind, cool nights and low rainfall which produces a smaller, thicker skinned berry with intense fruit flavours. This wine is a blend of two different blocks on the property – one warmer, sheltered inland block and a coastal block. The wine brings together in harmony the diverse spectrums of the blocks; the warmer site contributing he expressive aromatics and the cooler site giving the mineral backbone and length.
