Cool, arid conditions slow ripening dramatically, building intense flavour and bright natural acidity. Vibrant red cherry and raspberry are lifted by dried herb and a whisper of earth, leading to a silky, precise palate with fine-grained tannins that carry the fruit through a satisfying, medium-long finish. A genuine single-valley expression from one of Marlborough's pioneering families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Selling Points\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePioneer of Awatere Valley viticulture.
