Materials

Growing Season: 2016  was a good growing season at our organic, Gimblett Gravels vineyard. The weather  was cool through December but after New Year we had a typical hot dry Hawke's Bay summer which continued through until harvest in mid April.

Tasting Notes

Technical Details: Fermentation was with wild yeast from the vineyard. The wine spent some time macerating on its skins to achieve balance and was then pressed using a traditional basket press. The wine was matured in oak barrels until balanced and ready to bottle. The wine was lightly fined using organic egg whites.

Blend: 94% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot

Alcohol 13.3%

  • Gimblett Gravels

  • Why Organic Wines?

In addition, organic wine production often involves fewer energy inputs and can have a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional wine production.
