Hints of citrus with subtle vanilla and toasty notes. The palate is soft and textural with rich, buttery and juicy stonefruit flavours. The oak is well-integrated with brioche and grilled peach characters.

Fruit for this wine was carefully selected from some of Hawke's Bay's finest vineyards. Low yielding vines were harvested at their optimum ripeness and meticulous care was taken handling the fruit to retain flavour intensity and promote pure varietal character.

Gently pressed with minimal skin contact and a long, cool fermentation. The juice was inoculated with specially developed, aromatic yeast strains to intensify varietal character development. A portion barrel-fermented and maturated on lees has combined to produce a bright, fruit-driven, complex style.
