Marlborough’s 2024 harvest was dominated by dry, windy weather, super clean fruit and delicious flavours. The season in Marlborough was marked by the change from the La Nina weather patterns of the last two years to a strong El Nino.
We harvested the fruit during the night in cool temperatures so that the natural flavours and aromatics were preserved. The grapes were gently pressed, and the juice settled prior to fermentation. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the bright, varietal aromatics and a small portion in old French oak for added weight and texture
