The vines stand on the western shore of Lake Wānaka on an old outwash cone of schist and gravel; the ungrafted vines were planted between 1987 and 2000. The grapes are hand-harvested into 10-kg crates, macerated on their skins overnight and pressed as whole bunches. Fermentation takes place without inoculation, using the winery’s own cellar yeast, in a horizontal stainless-steel Foudre and lasts around 26 days; the wine then remains on its primary lees for four months. Stylistically, it shows taut acidity, mineral dryness, citrus and apple notes, and phenolic grip.
