From ultra premium vineyards in Wairau valley, chosen to reflect the vibrancy and clean fruit flavours of the very finest Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. A close husbanding of vines combined with careful canopy manipulation, leaf plucking and shoot thinning, yields harvests exhibiting consistent ripeness. Flavour development is aided by cool nights during the critical ripening period leading up to harvest. Fruit is treated to a cool vinification in controlled fermenters to retain freshness and regional charm. Selections of yeasts are chosen to build subtle complexity, the wine remains on yeast lees several months to build body, texture and mouthfeel.
