The wine is made from a selection of batch processed fermentations that highlight the different vineyard sites within Waipara. All grapes were harvested in excellent condition at 22- 25 Brix. Fermentation involved hand plunging to yield maximum colour and full flavour extraction and traditional basket pressing.

This Pinot Noir has a combination of sweet berry fruit and plums with a spicy savoury character from maturation in medium toast barriques.

This wine is quite drinkable now, but will cellar well for another 3-5 years. Excellent with Lamb, Beef or Venison and other full-flavoured dishes.
