Sourced primarily from Saint Clair’s vineyards in Marlborough’s Omaka Valley where a combination of warm days, cool nights and clay based soils contribute to greater retention of fruit flavours. The fruit is a blend of Chardonnay clones, predominantly Mendoza and Burgundian Clone 95.
The vines were monitored carefully during ripening and hand harvested at optimum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.
Pale gold. Fragrant peach, toasted spice and subtle vanilla notes. Concentrated, elegant and silky with fresh peach, ripe grapefruit and biscuit notes. Drinking beautifully now, this wine will continue to evolve and reward over the next five to ten years with careful cellaring.
