Planted in 1993, farmed organically and on some of the deepest free-draining gravels on the famed Martinborough Terrace. Vines trained for low vigour and yields combine to deliver a wine of power and depth of flavour.

 

As a result of this approach the fruit quality is evident creating a wine which is tightly wound and restrained in its youth, ensuring a Chardonnay which will develop layers of flavour, richness and complexity over time and reward patience in the cellar.

 

Strongly mineral, palate is powerful with stunning purity; flavours of grapefruit and stone fruit sit aboard an ethereal texture, driven by fine bright acidity.  Excellent support from quality oak integration
