This wine showcases beautiful aromas of red cherries, plums, thyme and petrichor. These aromas translate onto the palate with further layering of forest floor and earthy tones complementing the bright fruit flavours that are so abundant. There are subtleties in the structure and mouthfeel of this wine that have ensued from the river-stone built soils of the Awatere Valley. Real thought in winemaking has given way to nuances and delicacies that the site presents and is light and juicy in structure but has rounded and soft tannins that persist well after drinking.
