Fruit for this wine was grown in an old alluvial riverbed, with soils of exposed greywacke rock, imparting a definitive flinty character to the wine. The vines are 40-year-old Mendoza clones – a rare find in Marlborough. Flinty with citrus and white stone fruit on the nose. Textural on the palate with very fine acidity, showing fleshy yellow fruits, oatmeal and river stone characters. The finish is long and complex.
