Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"The grapes for this wine were grown in the Wairau Valley region of Marlborough. This wine is made from grape parcels where 100% was fermented in new and seasoned French barriques This style of winemaking enables us to craft a wine with bright fruit forward characters while still ensuring complexity and the depth of flavours imparted by oak influence. Partial malolactic fermentation was allowed for the barrel portion of the wine while it aged for 8 months on lees.
Fresh aromas of white peach, nectarine, layered with subtle notes of ripe grapefruit and a touch of flinty minerality. Gentle oak-derived nuances of vanilla, toast, and cream add complexity without overpowering the fruit. Medium bodied with a creamy, rounded texture balanced by lively acidity. Stone-fruit and citrus flavours carry through, accented by hints of lemon curd. The oak is harmonious, adding structure without dominating."
90/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"It's elegantly fragrant on the nose, showing rockmelon, lemon peel, nougat, and almond meal characters, leading to a succulent palate that's creamy and supple. Well-balanced and smooth with a lingering, juicy finish. At its best: now to 2028."
