Intensely scented with rich and vivid fruits leading through to a full and flavoursome palate. Dark cherry, cassis and a vibrant mix of berries flows through the wine. Chalky with energetic fruit tannins and a long, juicy finish. 

Certified organic from predominantly ungrafted vines, managed by hand with limited irrigation. Planted in a variety of clones on calcerous clay soils on the gradual Omihi slopes. Long stretches of hot, dry weather through summer and a cooler autumn produced optimum fruit ripening at harvest of clean fruit. Hand-picked, small quantities of intensely flavoured and perfectly ripened fruit delivered to the winery.

Hand picked and sorted thoroughly before a natural fermentation on skins. We allowed the new wine to rest for 30 days on skins before a gentle press to clay amphora and used oak barriques. Full natual MLF went through during the warmer Spring months, before blending and estate bottling.
