Tasting Notes
The standout feature is the texture of the wine: the opulent mouth-feel makes this wine luscious and popular. The rich texture and fullness, even though the wine is essentially dry, are the result of ripe grapes. The wine has great balance with finesse and purity of fruit.
The colour: Light straw with a hint of green.
The bouquet: Nashi pear and spice.
Winemakers Notes
The grapes were rapidly and gently whole bunch pressed to produce a rich, fruit-driven wine with low phenolics. The juice was briefly cold settled to clarify it and then fermented in stainless steel tanks, with 3 months aging on yeast lees to add complexity and texture.
The wine was bottled in August 2007.
Viticulture Notes
Grapes came from 3 vineyards: the winery's land in the Gimblett Gravels, 1 vineyard in the cooler hills to the south and a coastal vineyard.
2007 was an exceptional season in Hawkes Bay. A moderate, low-rainfall summer was followed by a long, warm, dry autumn. The grapes were hand picked at a good maturity level and clean condition from the 3 vineyards, maximizing and diversifying aromas and flavours.
Cellaring
Peak drinking 2007 - 2010
Food Match
Asian-style foods, cheeses, desserts featuring apples, pears or quinces.
