WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested from selected vineyard sites across the Wairau and Awatere Valleys in Marlborough at peak flavor maturity. Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit is quickly pressed with minimal skin contact to preserve freshness. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using selected yeast strains to maximize primary fruit aromatics and maintain the wine's signature crisp acidity. It is bottled early to retain its youthful energy.
