Winemakers Comments

A wet start to the 2022 season settled down for spring and early Summer with high temperatures allowing healthy vines to ripen delicious flavours in the grapes. A spell of rain in February made made us hold our breath, but in the end, Marlborough finished strong, with the sun coming out and vines working their magic. Later-ripening blocks performed particularly well. The wine was fermented in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels, and aged for some months before being bottled under screwcap for maximum freshness.
