Intensive canopy management system. Certified by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. Vintage A prolonged dry spell through most of the vintage saw many vines on stony sites suffer stress, however the slightly better water holding capacity of the clays helped the Manu fruit avoid this issue. Ripening was long and slow leading to excellent flavour retention and nice bright acids in the wines. Vinification Hand-harvested. Destemmed to open-top fermenters. Hand-plunged. Aged in large-format French oak. Winery is certified by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. Winemaker's Notes Overall Impression Elegant, fruit-forward, approachable. Aromas Cherries, violets, red fruits. Palate Chocolate, coffee bean, plum, toasty oak. Serving Suggestions Anything barbecued. One glass for the marinade and the rest for the chef.
