Growing Season: 2015 was the third of three consecutive years of excellent growing conditions in Hawke's Bay. The spring was cool and vine flowering was a little later than usual. The weather remained cool through December but after New Year the hot dry weather typical of Hawke's Bay began and continued until we harvested in late April.

The wine spent sometime macerating on its skins to achieve balance and was then pressed using a traditional basket press. During Winter and Spring the wine developed in oak barrels and before racking and return to barrel to mature and then be bottled. The wine was lightly fined with organic egg whites.

Why Organic Wines?
Organic wines are made from grapes that are grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers, which can be harmful to the environment and to human health. In addition, organic wine production often involves fewer energy inputs and can have a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional wine production.
