Winemaking With the fruit arriving at the winery In such great condition and at optimum ripeness, my job really Is just a watching brief to protect and nurture the fruit's natural aromatics and flavor and allow the nuances and complexities to build through fermentation and post fermentation lees contact. My notes this year are short, because there is no winemaking wizardry here, just simple care and attention to detail that allows the wine to show itself in the best light possible.

The Character

Aromas Layers of Lemongrass, key lime, briny jalapeno, biscuity creaminess and a light flintlock minerality

Tasting Notes One thought comes to mind - Three Brooms. Intense, yet elegant. Dense, yet light. Rich yet fresh. Layers of Lemongrass, key lime, briny jalapeno, biscuity creaminess and a light flintlock minerality result in amazing complexity and contradiction. And we haven't even tasted It yet. First impressions here are contradictory also, but result in wonderful balance. Supple but amazingly bright and tense with initial flavors of sweet ripe limes and gooseberry. The beautifully broad and juicy acidity carries the wine through a mid-palate of great depth and complexity. Here there is also blackcurrant leaf and a reappearance of the minerality and an almost nutty creaminess that leads to the finish where we see the light smokiness that we've come to expect. The finish is ridiculously long and there is such amazingly vibrant freshness that demands another glass.

Selling Point Intense, yet elegant. Dense, yet light. Rich yet fresh.

Pairings Rich enough to pair well with white meats, tuna or swordfish, and all seafood.

The Story

As spring goes, it doesn't really get any better than this growing season. Plenty of rain at the right time to get the vines up and going and producing magnificent canopies. It was one of, if the best spring for growth that we've seen in our twenty years in Marlborough and our coastal site meant that, once again, we were untroubled by frost. Heading Into summer, the weather continued to play ball with very solid flowering and post-flowering periods resulting In great set and bunch architecture. The challenges came later as we headed Into the usually calm, stable late summer. February was, in a word, wet, with us getting six times our monthly average of rain, with further falls in mid-March. The district was getting nervous but at Waverley we went about our business as normal and the result was, well, normal. Clean, ripe fruit was delivered to the crush pad.
