Winemaking

ORIGIN

Leefield Station, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough.

VARIETY

100% Pinot Gris.

WINEMAKING

The Pinot Gris fruit was field destemmed before being gently pressed to stainless steel tanks in preparation for fermentation. Purposely selected yeast strains were chosen to enhance the varietal intensity and mouthfeel, with a slow and steady fermentation to preserve these aromatics. After a short period of time on yeast lees the wine was fined and filtered prior to bottling.

VINTAGE

Vintage 2024 will be remembered for being one Marlborough’s smaller vintages but also for producing exceptional fruit quality.


Despite a dry winter and resulting low ground moisture levels, full dams and positive river flows supplied essential soil moisture for the start of the growing season with budburst in mid-September.

Minimal frosts occurred, and though November and December were warm, below-average temperatures potentially contributed to the smaller vintage.

From December to February, temperatures rose sharply, accompanied by above-average sunshine and below-average rainfall, leading to drought concerns and an early start to harvest.


Perfect weather aided steady picking from February until mid-April, allowing fruit to be picked in perfect condition at peak ripeness, delivering consistent levels of concentration and complexity of flavour.
