White dry
The wine is made from a single Otira vineyard. A bouquet of lemon slice, dried mango, white pineapple and gooseberry aromas makes this wine layered, rich, dense, fragrant and expressive. The minerality felt in the wine reflects the characteristics of the river valley soil formed during the Ice Age.
Serve at 10–12 °C with fresh oysters, asparagus, white fish or goat cheeses.
A clear and balanced sauvignon blanc with sliced spiced pears, apples and lemons and some flint on both the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with attractive citrus highlights to the aromas above.
