About this wine

Cooler conditions and some rain during the harvest period in Waipara meant plenty of work bringing in the fruit all at once, but the stable and warm summer produced great flavours and aromatics.

Tasting Note

Viticulture: The fruit for this wine came from the Glasnevin Vineyard, in behind the winery in Waipara.

Vintage: Cooler conditions and some rain during the harvest period in Waipara meant plenty of work bringing in the fruit all at once, but the stable and warm summer produced great flavours and aromatics.

Maturation: After crushing and pressing the fruit the juice was fermented in a mixture of old and new French barrels over a period of 20 days. Once finished the barrels were topped and the wine was left to mature for 5 months, before it was racked out to be bottled.
