Aromas of ginger, pear and Braeburn apple with white floral notes and cinnamon. Fullish and rich on entry with a very smooth progression through the palate to a warm, spicy finish. Fresh fruits, apple and pear, are joined by orange and peach with a crème brûlée note lingering.
Fruit was harvested from our Echelon and Cowslip Valley vineyards in the Waihopai Valley and Headwaters vineyard in the Wairau. The fruit spent about 5 hours on skins to extract more flavour and build mouthfeel. While predominately tank fermented, a significant proportion is fermented in seasoned oak barrels to increase complexity.

“Some lightly chalky, stony aromas with sliced green pear, leading to a palate that has a smooth-honed and gently creamy texture with bright pear and pastry flavors.”
92 Point Rated – Cameron Douglas MS, The Shout, March 2021
“Aromas of sweet brown pear and yellow apple, preserved lemon and a whisper of dried spice. White flowers, a whisper of lager beer lees autolysis and a wet stone mineral note add complexity. Crisp, fruity, varietal, refreshing and dry on the palate. Flavours of tree fruits and citrus mirror the nose. A coarse satin texture, nice weight and core of fruit finish the wine with aplomb.”
