The grapes come from Grava Vineyard on the south-western edge of Martinborough, near the road to Palliser Bay; the vineyard is described as gravel-dominated. After whole-bunch pressing and overnight settling, the must ferments spontaneously in a more than 90-year-old Totara cask with a capacity of 2100 litres and matures for around two years in total on the lees, followed by 15 months in French oak casks. Made without skin contact, it is a full-bodied, textural white wine with tension, gentle softness and a subtle finish reminiscent of fennel seeds. The sulphur content is 24 ppm.
