The 2025 growing season in Marlborough was well balanced, with a steady spring and settled summer conditions that supported even flowering and gradual, consistent ripening. Sourced primarily from the Calrossie vineyard, the fruit was fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal clarity. Gentle extraction was used to retain finesse, with the addition of oak during maturation to enhance texture and subtle spice.

Awards
90 points Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“It's beautifully fruited and fragrant on the nose, with sweet cherry, strawberry, olive, and mixed-spice aromas. The palate delivers a rounded mouthfeel, silky texture, and fine tannins, making it elegantly flavoursome with a lengthy, succulent finish. At its best: now to 2029. ”
