VARIETAL
100% Marsanne

VINEYARDS
Sourced from a very small single vineyard site of
organically grown vines on Waiheke Island.
 
SEASON
Growing conditions were almost perfect throughout
the year, and whilst not as hot as 2019/2020, fruit was
picked a few weeks earlier than the previous years.
These conditions allowed fruit to reach optimal
ripeness with no weather stress experienced. As a
result, 2021 will be remembered as a vintage that
produced extremely high-quality fruit.
 
HARVEST
By hand in late February.
 
VINIFICATION
The fruit was gently whole bunch pressed to French
oak barriques (33% new). Following a period of lees
contact the wine was racked, blended and bottled.

TASTING NOTES
A rich, textural white with notes of stone fruit, beeswax
and underlying hints of honeysuckle. The distinctive
varietal aromas of this premium fruit have been subtly
enhanced with barrel fermentation, creating a
textured, elegant wine style.
