Highly enjoyable in its infancy, the 2022 vintage (4*) was grown at Mangatahi and briefly aged on its yeast lees in tanks. Bright, light lemon/green, it is full-bodied, with strong, ripe stonefruit flavours, slightly buttery notes, balanced acidity and a dry, rounded finish. (From Te Awanga Estate.)
