VINTAGE SUMMARY:
Marlborough experienced a very warm and dry growing season that extended through late summer and Autumn until early April. During March the cool nights that typify Marlborough began to set in and helped retain and intensify the acids and flavours that the region is known for. The heat accumulation during the summer months meant that ripening was ahead of normal and harvest commenced a week or so earlier than usual. This resulted in a big proportion of vineyards being harvested early this year with high levels of ripeness and quality achieved.

VINIFICATION:
Low temperatures and aromatic yeasts were used to capture the intense varietal characters of this wine.

FOOD PAIRING IDEAS:
Enjoy with lake and seafood, seafood salads, grilled pork, asparagus, goat cheese, herbs and herbal dishes, vegetarian dishes.
