This wine is a blend of several vineyard sites, spread across Marlborough, Waipara and Awatere valley. Once harvested, the grapes are transported to the winery, gently pressed, and the juice settled in steel tank. The warm fermentation is started with selected yeast strains. Following the ferment the wine is left to mature on full lees for up to three months to enhance structure and mouth feel. Any corrections of acidity or sugar are done at this stage. After blending the wine is fined using natural methods and prepared for bottling.
