This wine is made exclusively with hand harvested fruit from the Blackenbrook Home block where the vines grow on Moutere clay soil covered by a layer of sandy loam. The wine making is extremely gentle with whole bunch pressing, cool fermentation, minimal pumping over and using gravity to move the wine when required.

12% of the wine is aged in oak to add mouthfeel and complexity and there is no fining pre-bottling.

At 5g/l of residual sugar this is dry in style.
