An emerging classic from North Canterbury. From an early-ripening season, the distinctive 2020 vintage (5*) was estate-grown, hand-picked from mature vines, and fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak barriques (35 per cent new). Bright, light lemon/green, it is an elegant, youthful wine, mouthfilling, with with deep, vibrant, citrusy, peachy flavours, gently seasoned with oak, mealy notes adding complexity and a long finish. Best drinking 2024+.
