Commercial Description

The grapes for this wine were grown in the Wairau and Awatere Valley?s of Marlborough. The Awatere fruit provides freshness and acidity and the Wairau fruit a riper flavour spectrum.  A a long, cool autumn and modest yields made for the perfect conditions to create mouthwatering flavours in this classic Mount Riley wine.

We harvested the fruit during the night in cool temperatures so that the natural flavours and aromatics were preserved. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice settled prior to fermentation. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the bright, varietal aromatics.
