Gorgeous little citrus flowers link arms with melon and peach to dance in the sunshine, always maintaining an air of class. Meanwhile, lime lingers in the shadows vying for attention.

Vineyards

This aromatic white wine grape, hailing from Spain and Northern Portugal, also performs exceedingly well in Gisborne.

Vintage

Cooler conditions and unprecedented rainfall through the growing season, along with the effects of Cyclone Gabrielle have been particularly challenging and required vigilant vineyard management. Unfortunately, some vineyard blocks were not able to be harvested but despite these challenges, our significant vineyard holdings in the Gimblett Gravels region performed well; their free-draining soils providing the vines with more resilience to weather events. For both Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne, whilst the season has not delivered to the high-quality standards required for our top tier wines, and these won’t be made; there are plenty of clean, fruit driven components to compile our main blends. It will be a vintage of elegance rather than power, where great vineyard sites, along with a highly experienced winegrowing team have delivered an amazing result given the challenges of the season.
