"Estate-grown on the south side of the Wairau Valley, on the site where the region's first wines were made in the 1870s, the 2022 vintage (5 ) was fermented and lees-aged in stainless steel tanks. Pale lemon/green, it is a classy, vigorous wine with plenty of personality. Mouthfilling, it is very youthful, with concentrated, ripe, tropical fruit flavours. showing good complexity, lively acidity and a finely poised, lingering finish. Best drinking mid-2023." 5 Stars Michael Cooper
