Its distinguished minerality unveils a true representation of Marlborough terroir. Perfect for any fine dining experience or to just simply let yourself indulge.

Tasting Notes

The palate is already well integrated with good depth of flavour and refreshing long finish. This wine has a tight mineral structure in its youth and will develop a creamy texture as it matures.
