Notes

Harvest 2023 was also a challenging season to start with. Variable fruit set and early disease pressure made it challenging work for our team out in the vineyards. It settled down with a dry, hot January, then February kicked in and was wet from start to end. March came along and the weather behaved until harvest time. We ended up with good quality fruit across all varieties and about average sized volumes. All in all, a very good year and some lovely wines to follow. Fruit sourced from from three vineyards in Upper Moutere. . 100% fermentation in older French oak for over 10 months. Fermented and aged in French barriques, the nose shows aromas of fresh white peach, apple, citrus and soft spices. The palate is clean and crisp, brimming with peaches, melon and subtle creamy notes. Minerally and tight, this classy wine is lovely drinking.
