This wine has layers of appealing flavours, with citrus aromas of ripe Seville orange and grapefruit pith, with lifted notes of tarragon and basil flower. This is complemented by mineral notes of oyster shell and wet stone. The palate has a refreshing and elegant acidity, with lovely fruit weight giving an appealingly full palate. This wine has a mineral richness that leads through to a pleasant and lingering finish that leaves you wanting more.
The grapes for this wine were sourced from a single block in the Lower Wairau Valley of Marlborough, from a single estate owned by the Holdaway Family. The 2020 vintage was an excellent one for Marlborough. A warm and dry summer gave us perfect ripening conditions, with the classic Marlborough cool nights helping the grapes retain their acidity. The harvest period had ideal conditions, with no weather pressure so harvest decisions were made easily, resulting in clean fruitwith excellent flavour concentration.

"Fresh and inviting, the bouquet shows green apple, rockmelon, kiwifruit and lemon zest aromas. The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity together with fine texture and lively acidity, offering fabulous drinking."
