The grapes come from our family-owned Loveblock Farm in Lower Dashwood, Marlborough. Relatively unique in Marlborough, these grapes were sourced entirely from our certified-organic estate vineyard, the Triangle. Here, the vineyard soils are alluvial silt over stone. Organic management decreases the vigour of the vines, reducing berry size and hence overall yields. The grapes were harvested in late March yielding nine tonnes per hectare.
Tasting NotesColour: Pale with golden touches.
Aroma: Elegant aromas of rockmelon yield layers of chamomile and citrus.
Palate: Beautiful prosciutto-wrapped melon, nashi pear and fruit notes are underscored with lingering texture, mouthfeel and linear acidity. The palate is complex, finishing with hints of wet stone minerality.
Food match: A wine to enjoy with delicate Asian flavours, seafood of all sorts or just simply by itself.
Alc: 12.5%
