Winemakers Notes
An unlikely, but thoroughly loveable, assemblage of Chardonnay, Marsanne, Arneis and Gewurztraminer from our Gisborne vineyards. The Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer are from Patutahi and the Marsanne and Arneis from Hexton. The growing conditions in 2015 were very kind to us and all parcels were harvested in superb condition. The parcels were separately vinified and then the wine was assembled once all parcels had been assessed and a number of bench top blends had been tasted. The Chardonnay was oak fermented and the other components were tanks fermented. The oak level in the wine is very subtle but detectable.
