Region: Nelson

Viticulture: Single Vineyard: Home block, moutere clay soil with a layer of sandy loam, all vines grafted on site. Focus on healthy soil and strong plants, cold temperatures and rain at flowering, followed by excellent summer and autumn weather. Hand-picked and hand-sorted from 10to 23 April 2007 with 23.7 Brix

Winemaking: Extended skin contact before pressing, whole bunch pressed, gravity-fed from press area to main winery. Cool fermentation, stopped at 8g/ltr natural residual sugar, extended fine lees contact in stainless steel. Minimal pumping Cross-flow filtration. Bottled on 31 July 2007 under screw capsules.

Tasting Notes: Classical floral aromas meld engagingly with grapefruit and honey flavours. Medium-dry in style, it has a finely balanced acidity and weighty texture. The wine will benefit from bottle ageing and we recommend to enjoy it between now and 2010.
