Tasting Notes
Aroma: Punchy aromas of passionfruit and citrus leap from the glass, along with notes of guava and fresh cut grass.
Appearance: Pale yellow.
Palate: Dry, juicy and intensely flavoured on the palate, with bright citrus, stone fruit and a pop of guava. The finish is long, carried by vibrant, refreshing acidity and a dash of salinity.
Winemakers Comments
The 2024 Marlborough season was warm, dry and windy. Vine growth began late, and it quickly became obvious that the harvest would be much smaller than previous years. With fewer berries on the vine, the warm temperatures through summer caused one of the shortest ripening periods on record. Cool evenings helped retain acidity during ripening and balanced the concentrated, ripe fruit flavors. Grapes were harvested from various Marlborough sites throughout March 2024, with a high proportion coming from the slower ripening, more aromatic Awatere subregion. The wine was fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures and bottled under screwcap for maximum freshness.
