This 2017 vintage is a blend from multiple vineyard sites throughout Marlborough: the grapes are crushed and destemmed prior to pressing and fermentation is induced by the introduction of carefully selected yeast strains. The wine has a light straw colour with green hues and a multifaceted bouquet with vibrant aromas of lime zest, gooseberries and currant with a herbal infusion. Weighty mouthfeel with intense yet refined flavours and a crisp acidity. It drinks well now but can be enjoyed until late 2019 – great as an aperitif or pair with seafood, smoked fish, fresh salads or chargrilled vegetables.
