Viticulture
Fruit sourced from a 2ha block in the Awatere Valley. Careful management of vineyard to ensure vine balance. Hot and dry season allowing harvest to take place at optimum ripeness.
Carefully managed Grüner Veltliner blocks were harvested, destemmed and gently pressed. The free run juice was separated from the pressings into stainless steel tanks and left to settle for 72 hours. The clear juice was then racked to stainless steel tanks and fermented using selected yeast strains and cool temperatures to enhance varietal characters. The wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling
