2014 Production
Fruit was cold pressed in stainless steel tanks, 15% old puncheon barrel and 1/3 Drunk Turtle Amphora.
Maturation
75% in stainless steel and up to 25% in barrel for 6 months: three quarters of which were 2nd or 3rd French oak 300l barrels.
Tasting notes
Very dry, racy, and firm and yet opens up with lively jasmine, spicy ginger, white tea floral notes over a structured palate and intense, mineral finish. Feels like a drive through the luscious Golden Bay.
Food match
Sushi, smoked fish dishes or goats cheese.
