✨ Technical Specifications

Drawing from the stony alluvial floodplains of Marlborough, this expression is shaped by high ultraviolet light levels and dramatic diurnal temperature swings between the Southern Alps and the Pacific Ocean. Standard vinification prioritizes aromatic retention, employing cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without malolactic conversion or oak maturation. The resulting profile captures the regional archetype, marrying pungent thiol-driven tropical fruit with crisp pyrazinic herbaceousness.
