Grown in the Lismore Vineyard in Martinborough, 400 metres from the Ata Rangi winery, the 2017 vintage (4.5*) was fermented in tanks (60 per cent) and French oak barrels (40 per cent). Still unfolding, it is a pale straw, full-bodied wine, with very good intensity of peach and pear flavours, vaguely toasty, crisp, finely poised and dry (4 grams/litre of residual sugar). Best drinking mid-2019+.
