Pale green straw in the glass with aromas of of melon, blackcurrant and subtle wet stone minerality. The nose is bursting with fresh aromas whilst the palate is refreshing and mouth-watering. Delivering flavours of passionfruit, citrus and gooseberry with an underlying herbaceous thread. This wine is ‘lighter’ in alcohol, with no compromise on tropical flavour intensity or complexity.

The majority of fruit was sourced from mature vines in the loam rich Talon Block located within the Dillons Point region of Marlborough. Grapes were harvested at optimum flavour
intensity before the sugar levels became too high. This allowed the production of a wine lower in alcohol but rich in flavour. The grapes were machine harvested at cool temperatures and processed immediately to minimise skin contact. The juice was cool fermented in stainless steel to retain varietal character and freshness. Fermentation was stopped to retain some residual sugar in order to give the wine palate weight. Perfect for drinking immediately or over the next three years.

Food Pairing: An ideal lunch time wine or aperitif. A perfect match for seafood or a fresh summer salad.
