Extended yeast lees contact adds weight and richness to the palate.
Viticulture:Located in Marlborough’s premium Rapaura sub-region the grapes are grown in the young alluvial soils on Scott Henry divided canopy system which provides excellent sunlight penetration without leaf plucking. The vines are shoot-thinned to maintain low yields and ensure even ripening.
