Winemaking & Viticulture:
Grapes were harvested from vineyards in the Wairau Valley and Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand.
We were incredibly lucky to be able to create this wine in 2020, with the country in a nationwide lockdown during the harvest period due to COVID-19. Fortunately after near perfect weather, harvest was a real pleasure and our 2020 wines carry some very unique memories.
The juice was cold soaked prior to temperature controlled fermentation, in a mixture of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. With minimal intervention and fining, this wine was matured on oak for 8 months prior to filtering and bottling.
