Awards

Crafted from select blocks across five unique sites following the Awatere River, rising from very close to the sea up the valley to an altitude of over 400m. Maritime-influenced vineyards at the base of the valley in well-draining alluvial silts and gravels transition further up the valley to vineyards sheltered from winds in natural sun traps with soils of fractured rock and clay seams. These unique and diverse vineyard soils and locations create a vivid spectrum of flavours and textures. Lower cropping vines in the Awatere Valley ripen slowly in the cool maritime climate, producing wines with concentration, purity, tension and complexity.

An excellent growing season meant grapes were harvested from selected blocks when they showed optimal flavour ripeness. Rapid processing with cool temperatures and minimal oxygen contact has kept the wine fresh
and vibrant. Juices were fermented cool and slow with selected yeast strains, then left to mature on the yeast lees for three months before being prepared for bottling.
