Hand-picked and fermented with natural vineyard yeasts and aged in 20% new French oak barrels for 12 months before settling in stainless steel on light lees for a further 4 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Golden lemon hue. Complex reduction, toasty mineral nose with lemon meringue notes. On the palate, ripe stone fruits, hazelnut and grilled almond notes are supported by a complex, mouth-filling structure and classic North Canterbury salinity.
