"Produced from grapes grown in Kumeu and Hawkes Bay this wine was fermented 84% in old French oak barriques, and 16% in stainless steel tanks. The barrel fermentation provides some richness but very little oak in influence. Combined with the tank fermentation this allows the vibrant fruit to show through beautifully with lively lime and lemon aromas and a flinty, mineral edginess with hints of fig and white peach.
