Tasting Notes |
The nose displays a lovely mixture of citrus and stonefruit aromas with floral/spice notes adding complexity.The palate is light and freash with zingy acidity and a long clean finish.This wine has just enough residual suger(6g/L) to balance the wine's acidity whilst remaining crisp and dry. |
Food Match |
Enjoy in moderation with white fish dishes |

Winemakers Notes |
The free run juice was fermented separately in stainless tanks with neutral yeasts.Fermentation was performed at low temperatures to retain the intense citrus,aromatic characters produced from this variety. |
Viticulture Notes |
Sourced from Marlborough's Waihopai Valley.the 2006/2007 growing season started with poor weather over flowering that limited vineyard yields.Summer progressed in typical fashion with fine,dry weather that led into the very important sunny,warm day - cool night patterns over the harvest period.The fruit was harvested in excellent condition with high acidity and no botrytis. |
Cellaring |
As this wine ages it will develop complex toasty character and will evolve nicely over the next three to four years. |
