Winemaking

ORIGIN

Leefield Station, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough.

VARIETY

100% Riesling.

WINEMAKING

The fruit for this wine is machine harvested and destemmed in the field before being gently pressed into stainless steel tanks for a 2-3 days cold settling. Then the juice is racked clean to ferment in small batches at cool temperatures with selected yeast strains to preserve and develop the specific varietal characters of Riesling grapes. Following alcoholic fermentation, the new wine is kept in lees for 7 days then racked and matured in fine lees until blending and finishing.

Vintage

VINTAGE

Vintage 2025 will be remembered as one of Marlborough’s larger harvests due to near optimal flowering and fruit set conditions
during the final months of 2024.

The 2025 growing season began with budburst under warm, sunny weather, allowing vines to make full use of the ample
soil moisture retained from winter and the majority of spring was fortunately frost free.


Throughout the early part of the season, Marlborough experienced warm, sunny, and relatively dry conditions, despite a few intense rain events in late October and again mid to late December. The key summer ripening period continued this pattern of favourable weather—warm, sunny, and dry—even though January ranked among the coolest since 2000.

Harvest commenced under sunny skies in March and concluded a month later.
