Pale straw in colour with bright aromas of nashi pear and almond intertwining with rose petal and spice. Off-dry and displaying full fruit flavour through the palate, this is well worked and will be thoroughly enjoyed with white meats and asian influenced dishes.

From the Winery
The grapes for this wine were grown in the Wairau and Awatere Valley’s of Marlborough. A record dry growing season coupled with warm mid-summer temperatures enabled perfect flavour development. We harvested the fruit at night in cool temperatures to preserve the wonderful flavours andvaromatics.
The grapes were gently pressed and the juice settled prior to fermentation. 10% was fermented in barrel to accentuate texture and complexity in the wine. The remainder was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the bright, varietal aromatics.
