Description
Seamlessly integrated with profound purity of fruit that builds from a tight, chalky, and beautifully textured core of Granny Smith apple to orange blossom and delicately candied lemon peel. All this succulent fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and nuanced by a riverstone mineral tension followed by a host of white floral notes, savoury almond and oyster shell minerality. The perfect wine, imbued with delicate richness and seamless quality from
exceptional sites, coaxed to limitless potential.

A cool and wet ripening season meant little irrigation was necessary yet careful canopy management was required to avoid vigorous vineyard growth. Uneven budding was experienced on certain cultivars, which was carefully managed, but others, like Sauvignon Blanc thrived. Veraison was earlier than in the previous season and was even, due to our cool climate location. Precipitation during the ripening period delayed harvest and management of the
accompanying disease pressure was necessary. Despite the challenging season, our well managed vineyards produced high-quality grapes.
