Sourced from a small plot of vines planted in 2000, on our home block on the Martinborough Terraces. Pinot Blanc offers a true insight into our unique terroir. Pinot Blanc is a rare variety that is known for its spicy subtle flavours and its ability to truly reflect its terroir. Settled juice was fermented in old French barriques, where it was aged for 4 months to create a dry, soft style of wine that is immediately accessible upon release or will cellar for at up to 5 years. Stone fruit and white peach jump out of the class, with spicy floral notes along with almond kernel also apparent. A savoury note on the pallet entwines with a backbone of fresh acidity, creating a lighter body wine that is fresh and delicate. A perfect accompaniment for white fish and lighter meals.
