Winemaker Notes
Fruit from the Gimblett Gravels appellation and Fernhill region in Hawke’s Bay were pressed into stainless steel tanks and fermented without oak influence. A small percentage of malolactic fermentation was employed to increase the complexity of the wine.
Food Pairing
A great combination with a variety of foods.
