Grape Growing： Fruit for this wine came from Whitehaven’s Rapaura site, and Riverstone Vineyard in the Waihopai Valley. Pruned to 2-3 cane VSP, these vines are carefully managed over the growing season with the aim of producing beautifully ripe, clean fruit come harvest time.
【Tasting Notes】
Colour / Appearance : Medium lemon with a bright clarity.
Aroma / Bouquet : Lifted aromas of rose petal and honeysuckle, with a gentle suggestion of red apple, ginger, and a smidge of Turkish delight.
Palate : Bold flavours of rock melon and ripe orange, with a subtle hint of lychee and spice. The wine is off-dry to taste, with a plush mouthfeel and long, clean finish.
Food Match : This wine is made to be enjoyed best with food. We recommend dishes with aromatic spices and flavours, such as Moroccan, Thai or Chinese dishes.
