CURRENT VINTAGE: 2024 GRIS

Grown on the alluvial gravel soils of the Martinborough Terrace. A warmer 2024 growing season has given us a of texture and weight. This wine was fermented and aged in French barriques to bring complexity, depth, and richness. It was bottled after spending 4 months in barrel, to retain freshness and vibrancy.

An excellent alternative to Chardonnay, that has been inspired by the classic French approach to the variety and suitable as an accompaniment to many dishes.
Drink young or Cellar successfully for up to five years, to develop a richer softer profile.
