Vineyard
Vintage 2021 was of exceptional quality and the resulting wines will be celebrated and reflected on for many years to come.
Grapes were harvested from vineyards in the Wairau Valley and Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand

Ant Mackenzie
Viticulture
With a lower yield due to a combination of frosts and cooler weather during flowering, the grapes ripened quickly resulting in a compact and quick harvest.
Vinification
The juice was cold soaked prior to temperature controlled fermentation, in a mixture of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. With minimal intervention and fining, this wine was matured on oak for 8 months prior to filtering and bottling.
