Analytical data
Vineyard
The grapes for this wine were sourced from a number of vineyard sites in Hawke’s Bay in the Bridge Pa sub-region. 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.

Ant Mackenzie
Viticulture
An early and compact harvest along with hard work allowed our talented winemakers to produce fabulous wines that rival the last two years vintages with well balanced flavour and acidity.
Vinification
The fruit was gently pressed and then fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeast strains to enhance the aromatic characteristics of the wine. It was then bottled young to preserve the freshness and lively fruit flavours.
