Viticulture
Vintage 2022 provided the warmest weather on record in New Zealand. This along with favourable rain post-flowering set up a fantastic fruit crop for our 2022 wines. An early and compact harvest along with hard work allowed our talented winemaker to produce fabulous wines that rival the last two years vintages with well balanced flavour and acidity.
Vinification
Lightly pressed, the juice was fermented cool with selected yeasts to preserve the aromatic fruit characters.
