Description

A profoundly rich wine that is all about texture. Peach, apricot and crème brûlée with subtle jasmine and reed notes. Rich and oily texture with luscious stonefruit and a toasted baking spice finish.

Vineyard
Located in the heart of Gimblett Gravels in Hawke’s Bay. This vineyard is wildly stony. Soils laid down by the Ngaruroro River, natural bands of silt are streaked through the harsh gravels. The stones reflect a vast amount of light while providing a hostile growing environment perfect for keeping the wild growth and unruly behaviour of Viognier under control and retaining a small amount of heat when the temperature drops at night over the  plains.

Vintage
2024 was a beautiful season. Vines struggled through the last few cooler seasons, producing insanely small crops. Vines produced a very small number of flowers and these resulted in very small bunches and berries. Viognier being naturally a difficult cropping vine suffered from very low bunch numbers, but resulting in immense concentration. The harvest season was magical. Long and dry but not overly hot, helping the small berries ripen gently and retain their beauty. 2024 wines show a remarkable concentration but without being over cooked. Wines are rich and full bodied but with delicate floral aromatics in all varieties. A vintage I describe as rich and pretty.
