Vintage 2023 delivered hallmark Marlborough aromatics, flavours and refreshing acidity.
The growing season in Marlborough for Vintage 2023 was extremely good. Both rainfall and heat accumulation were at or close to long term averages, which resulted in wines with great flavour and fruit purity. Harvest progressed smoothly without weather interruptions after a slow and long ripening season.

This style of winemaking enables us to craft a wine with bright fruit forward characters while still ensuring complexity and the depth of flavours imparted by oak influence. Partial malolactic fermentation was allowed for the barrel portion of the wine while it aged for 9 months on lees.
