The debut 2018 vintage (5*) was hand-harvested in the Churton Vineyard, an elevated site between the Waihopai and Omaka valleys, and fermented and lees-aged for six months in seasoned French oak demi-muids. Scented and mouthfilling, it has penetrating, ripe tropical-fruit flavours, and a long, tightly structured finish. A distinctive, subtle, minerally wine, finely poised, it should be at its best 2021+.
