Detail
Surprising blends of red and white grapes have resulted in some of the most famous wines in the world (Champagne or Cote Rotie anyone?). This offering combines 15% Carmenere with 85% Sauvignon Blanc to produce a truly unique expression. The grapes are cooled by the South Pacific breezes and coastal summer fog that often lasts until midday. There is considerable attention in the vineyard to hand-management. Pruning, shoot thinning, canopy management, and green harvesting ensure each varietal attains full flavor maturity. This wine has a yellow color with green tones. Intense fruit aromas unveil a crisp taste, enticingly fragrant; it reveals aromas of ripe limes and herbs. This unusual blend of a white and red grapes explodes with intense fruit and the slightest hint of herbs & white pepper from the Carmenere. On the palate the wine is fresh and mouth-filling, with crisp natural acidity, delicate citrus notes, a soft texture and long persistence.
