The site was previously part of the Wairau flood plain, which built up the deep free-draining soils. The highly fertile soils of this vineyard have been built up over time by annual flooding and help to produce the intensity of flavour in the wine. The vineyard is now protected from flooding by a stopbank.
Pale straw with a slight green hue. Aromatic white currant and fragrant tropical fruit with a hint of cut grass. Luscious ripe grapefruit and green guava flavours. The palate is chalky in texture and has a long lingering finish.
