Description

Crème brûlée, macadamia, and brioche greet you alongside

yellow rose buds, super juicy nectarine, and ripe peach. The

nose is warm and indulgent - inviting, like a door opening

to a welcoming home. The palate treads lighter, where the

Mendoza clone offers vibrancy and reprieve. Citrus leaf and

cool acids break through the density, delivering gorgeous

length and lovely balance to the phenolic load. Complex and

completely reminiscent of the fruit’s flavor on the vine; the

oak has framed the fruit, not overwhelmed it. Glossy and

nourishing, with a finish that rewards contemplation.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Dry River

The name Dry River carries an historical significance as the name of one of the earliest Wairarapa sheep stations (ca. 1877). This was later sold off by the Seddon government and renamed Dyerville, leaving the renamed Waihora River (circa 1900) and the renamed Dyerville Rd (1994) - both after Dry River - as the only reminders of this part of our pastoral farming history. In 1979 Neil and Dawn McCallum planted a vineyard a few kilometres from Dyerville in a very dry, gravely and free-draining area now called the 'Martinborough Terrace' and they took the name Dry River for the vineyard and wines in what was to become another chapter of Martinborough's farming history. Their dream was to produce individual, high quality regional wines which faithfully reflect the 'terroir', vintage and are suitable for cellaring.
