Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2021 vintage—characterized by even ripening yielding concentrated yet elegant fruit—undergo 25% whole-bunch inclusion, fermented in small stainless steel open-top fermenters with indigenous yeasts over three weeks, followed by 18 months' aging in French oak barrels (30% new) to enhance structure and finesse. As New Zealand's largest certified organic vineyard and a family-owned estate since 2002, this production yields a deep ruby wine with garnet edges and remarkable poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e An elegant, perfumed red with vibrant red berries and subtle spice, reflecting Marlborough's clay hillside terroir.
