"Pōtiki, meaning ‘last born’ in Maori, is blended from a selection of newer plantings and some of our more established blocks on the Martinborough Terrace. Barrel fermented in 300 litre puncheons with indigenous yeasts, followed by 11 months on lees to bring a subtle complexity.
The 2022 has an expressive, floral, and delicate fruit driven nose of white peach, rock melon and orange blossom. The palate has a refined mineral entry, with hints of salinity. It opens further with notes of citrus and fennel and flavours of pastry and almond. Beautifully balanced on the palate, this wine is fresh and joyous, combining cool fruit notes with fine acidity.
Hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed, with the unsettled juice fully barrel fermented in Burgundy 300L puncheon barrels (20% new) using indigenous yeasts. Partial malolactic. Aged in barrel on lees for 11 months."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"A delicious wine! Aromas and flavours of ripe almost sweet grapefruits, white fleshed stone fruits and a seam of minerality and fine lees spice qualities. Medium+ weighted as the wine touches the palate, a satin texture with contrasting acidity. As the wine opens out in glass the textures and flavours develop a flourish and intensity. Fine fruit tannins with a lees texture, delicious, fresh and dry with plenty of complexity, charm and cellar attributes. Best drinking from 2023 through 2939+."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Charming and enticing, the bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, nougat, hazelnut and oatmeal nuances, leading to a beautifully layered palate that's succulent and creamy. Wonderfully composed and expressed with elegant complexity and persistency. At its best: now to 2030."
