The 2nd vintage of this wonderful crisp cool climate aromatic. Carefully produced fruit from Rob and Pam Crosbie's Vineyard in the Waitaki Valley has resulted in a taut, dry style, with enhanced aromatics plus a beautifully structured backbone of balanced acidity. Clean and fresh, beautiful with whitebait, scallops of other light seafood.

Winemaker Jeff's Tasting Notes: "The wine shows remarkable consistency of vineyard character to the previous vintage. Pale green in colour with lovely floral aromatics, lime/citrus like fruit and the same salty tang we saw last year. The palate has been made ever so slightly sweeter than last year as we have such lovely juicy acidity to balance against. The minerality is still there, a suggestion of salinity too (similar to the sensation of soda water) as the palate possesses real presence in the mouth. We expect this wine to drink well over the summer months, especially with delicate seafood like the wonderful west coast whitebait we have been enjoying this spring. As it matures in bottle expect the floral notes to diminish a little and the mineral characters to rise to the fore".
