Vintage Summary
Vintage 2024 was another one for the history books, with a hot, dry summer and low rainfall impacting the Marlborough region. Its a year that can be celebrated for its outstanding quality. Several factors contributed to lower yields, with early spring frosts, cooler temperatures during flowering, and prolonged dry conditions and water restrictions throughout summer and the harvest period. The unique seasonal conditions of vintage 2024 have produced wines of exceptional quality and showing the wonderful hallmarks that our Marlborough vineyards are known for – highly concentrated flavours, with underlying purity and minerality. We are excited to share them with the world.
Winemaking
Individual parcels of Pinot Gris were harvested, the fruit was destemmed, gently pressed and left to settle in tank for 48 hours. The clear juice was then racked prior to a long, cool fermentation to capture the bright, fresh characters. The individual parcels of Pinot Gris were then blended and blushed with a small percentage of Kolor, balanced, stabilised, and filtered prior to bottling.
