Bright with a fresh softly green hue, this wine has subtle yet exotic notes of white peach and pink grapefruit, compliment gooseberry and passionfruit aromas. On the palate it has lifted stone fruit and citrus is framed by a finely textured palate and zesty acidity with a classic Awatere flinty mineral background.

The grapes were harvested in ideal condition, picking the terraced blocks at the point of optimum flavour development. Parcel of grapes were picked and fermented separately, allowing us to enhance varietal character using carefully selected yeast strains. A long, cool fermentation took place to retain purity of flavours. The wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Enjoy with both fresh and cooked seafood dishes such as classic fish and chips, fresh oysters and BBQ prawns.
