The 2019 vintage (4*) is a 'lightly oaked' style, estate-grown at Te Awanga (85 per cent) and in the Bridge Pa Triangle (15 per cent). Lees-aged for over a year, it was matured in a mix of French oak casks and tanks. Bright, light lemon/green, it is full-bodied, with generous, peachy, slightly toasty flavours, fresh acidity and good complexity. Drink now or cellar.
