Marlborough, New Zealand. Brimming with concentrated notes of poached pears and melon, with underlying flavours of quince and a touch of ginger. The palate is full-bodied and luscious, showing wonderful balance between texture, fruit weight and mineral acidity, with a long dry finish.
One parcel from the R7 block on our Seaview Vineyard was selected for this wine and harvested over a period of one day. The fruit was crushed, de-stemmed then pressed gently prior to cold settling for 72 hours. A small potion (4%) was racked directly to older French barriques to undergo fermentation. The balance was racked to a small stainless steel tank and fermented separately using a selected yeast. A long cool fermentation followed. The parcels were then kept on lees for a period of two months, with some stirring to help gain texture and structure. The wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
