Viticulture

The Hawkes Bay 2025 harvest saw a warm, dry spring and an early start to the season. Leading into Summer, conditions were cooler with crisp clear nights, resulting in healthy, disease-free grapes. Flavour development and acid retention were enhanced by warm, stable ripening conditions.

Vinification

With a talented and enthusiastic team of international superstars in the winery, this harvest provided an opportunity to showcase the very best flavours of an exceptional vintage. Fruit was plunged and pumped over in open top vats to extract the smooth tannins and bright berry fruit Merlot is known for. After gently pressing the wine was left to mature in tanks and old oak barrels, before bottling prior to harvest of 2026.
