Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Skin fermented field blend of 65% Semillon + 35% Sauvignon Blanc. Raupo Vineyard, Marlborough. BioGro certified organic fruit. Demeter certified fruit. Hand harvested. Both varieties were picked on the same day & 100% destemmed into stainless steel VC. A pied du cuve (vineyard ferment starter) was added before undergoing wild fermentation. 28 days on skins & 7 months in neutral French oak barrels. Blended & settled for 2 months before being bottled unfined/unfiltered with a small SO2 addition."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"A distinctive colour and equally distinctive bouquet. Aromas and flavours of lemon and peach, a wild flowers tea, orange peel and grapefruit then apple and pith. A wine of equal texture and flavour with intensity from citrus peel and apple, more floral qualities then tart fruit tea. Plenty of acidity and medium weight, well made with some fresh waxy herb ideas, tannins and phenolics are an important part of the mouthfeel leading to a lengthy and balanced finish. Ideal drinking from day of purchase through 2030."
