Situated well north of the other New Zealand wine growing areas and the climate should be too hot for successful viticulture yet the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea, both less than 30km from the vineyards, create ideal conditions for ripening grapes. This wine is a finely balanced mix of delicate floral and apple fruit flavours emboldened by notes of white pepper and herbs. While slightly off dry this is never cloying. This is a great food wine and can be paired with pungently spiced dishes as well as with more delicate fish dishes.
