Notes

Initial hand plunging in open fermenters for 4 weeks then 100% oak barrel aging in mix of new and older French and American oak barriques for 11 months. Grapes sourced from a single vineyard in the Moutere Hills region of Nelson on predominantly Moutere clay. 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.

Food Pairing

Pair with creamy mushroom risotto or a mild Thai duck curry.
