From a coastal site in the northern Bay of Islands, the 2016 vintage (4.5*) was fermented and lees-aged for 11 months in French oak casks (30 per cent new). Bright, light yellow/green, it’s a stylish, weighty, sweet-fruited wine, with gentle acidity and peachy, slightly spicy flavours, showing excellent concentration, complexity and harmony.
