Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A symphony of candied pear and gooseberry, with subtleties of lemongrass, nectarine, yuzu, and a resilient minerality.
An instant crowd-pleaser.

Glacier deposit, sandy gravelly marine over sandy gravelly morainal leading to Schist clay at 12-16’ depths. Elevation sloping from 31m to 11m above sea level. Pruning VSP (Vertical Shoot Position): Cane, Double. Traditional Sustainable Farming methods. No herbicides. No pesticides. No irrigation. 2022 was off to a very slow start with unusually cool temperatures and higher precipitation but recovered by June bringing dry warm weather through to the end of October to allow high brix with zero disease.
