Tasting notes
Pear and ginger followed by orange blossom and apricot. Creamy weight on the entry and initial flavours take the lead from the nose, with pear and ginger to the fore. Also notes of tangerine and some biscuit complexity. A hint of peach schnapps lingers on the finish.
Vinification
6 hours of skin contact and 48 hours lees stirring prior to clarification and fermentation. 85% of the juice ferments in stainless steel tanks and the remaining 15% in old oak barriques. A small amount of the juice ferments with wild yeast.
Ageing
4 month on fine less in stainless steel tanks.
Food pairing
Works well with snapper fillets, rolled in fresh breadcrumbs and shallow fried, or with hot baked ham and glazed kumara.
