Sourced from a block situated on the upper ridge of Yealands’ Seaview Vineyard, this block is situated on a relatively exposed terrace and consists of a mix of Dijon Clones. The low-yielding Pinot Noir is stainless steel fermented with malolactic fermentation divided between stainless steel (30%) and French oak (70%) with 20% new, followed by a light egg white fining, blending and filtering prior to bottling.
ABV % = 14
Awatere Valley is a sub-region of New Zealand's acclaimed Marlborough appellation, where the country's most characterful and pure expressions of Sauvignon Blanc can be found. The wines here are characterized by beautiful minerality and vibrant acidity. They are refreshing and at the same time have a wonderful tropical element that typifies the wines from Marlborough.
