This is absolutely outstanding and superb value. The fruit was sourced from a sustainably farmed vineyard in the Omaka sub-region of Marlborough, hand-harvested into small bins and then whole-bunch pressed. Indigenous yeast fermentation was in two three-year-old French oak barrels (75%) and stainless steel. After a full malolactic fermentation the wine was aged on lees for six-eight months without stirring. It was racked to tank in December 2018 and allowed to settle prior to bottling (unfined and unfiltered) in February 2019.
A rather hedonistic nose suggests ripe pears, fresh peach and oatmeal while the palate is taught and chalky with nectarine, pear and iodine notes and a driven freshness. Unmistakably Marlborough for its cleansing hit of salty goodness, this is harmonious, balanced and dry. Like we said, outstanding value and a wine that again breaks the mould.
