Viticulture

Harvest 2025 was a standout vintage in Marlborough. Late 2024 saw good conditions for an abundant crop, with a cool early Summer leading to an extended ripening period. After February the weather was warm, dry and with cool nights kept the fruit disease free and favoured full flavour development. Solid crop levels slowed ripening, allowing each vineyard block to be picked on flavour profile, with little rush. Acid balance was in harmony with flavour and sugar ripeness, giving a classic expression of Marlborough. Years of experience within the family vineyards shows through with elegant and expressive flavours from each site, ready to be combined in the final wine. 

Vinification

Picked in the cool of the morning from our “Omaka” vineyard. Very free draining soils and focused viticultural treatment have given incredibly concentrated flavours, derived from small bunches with tiny berries.  After pressing the cloudy juice was fermented entirely in French Oak barrels. Aged on lees in barrels, the wine was then blended for bottling a year after harvest.
