TASTING NOTES
This wine has citrus flavours and lemon skin backed with a slight hint of kerosene. A pale lemon yellow coloured wine with a linear acid back bone, flushed out with opulent mouth filling fruit weight. Lingering citrus and pear on the palate.
VINIFICATION
Vintage 2006 was picked from a single block within the estate. Fruit was selectively thinned to approximately 4 tonnes to the acre, and ripened to perfection, balancing the acidity of the fruit. The fruit after picking, was lightly pressed and fermented quite cold, ceasing when the wine reached perfect balance.
VITICULTURE
The premium producing area of Marlborough - Dog Point Road - produces consistently quality fruit ripened to perfection on the rich alluvial gravels of the Omaka River flats. Grown on vertical trellised established vines, the canopy captures every ray of available sunshine, with the added bonus of the warmth of the stones to assist in ripening. The vineyard management is second to none, displaying with the experience of the owners who have been in the business since the late 1970's on this property.
