Regional information
The Hawke's Bay wine region is arguably the most exciting find for the cultivation of sparkling wine in New Zealand. Ancient alluvial river terraces provide for a superb mix of soils over gravelly, free-draining sub soils, with an abundance of pure river water for irrigation. With a temperate maritime climate, the vines are warmed by strong clear sunlight during the day and cooled at night by the sea breezes of the Pacific Ocean.

Vinification details
The free-run juice is cold settled, followed by a slow, temperature controlled primary fermentation to develop elegant, assertive flavours in the base wine (Cuvée). The Cuvée is then inoculated with yeast to undertake a secondary fermentation, which develops the delicate, finely bubbled palate and refreshing finish in the wine. Following a period of lees contact to build complexity, the wine is bottled young to capture the fresh, varietal intensity.
