Palate: Sweet ripe raspberry on entry with stone fruit and a hint of lemon. Complex with lovely mineral acidity, textural phenolics and a long cranberry and strawberry finish.

The grapes are from Georgetown Vineyard at Central Otago, New Zealand.

Georgetown Vineyard is farmed according to NZ sustainable standards.

The wine was whole bunch pressed and the resulting juice was inoculated with selected wine yeast.

68% of the juice was stainless steel tank fermented with the balance of 32% undergoing barrel fermentation in older French oak barriques. The fermentation was stopped retaining 5.1 g/l of residual sugar.
