Dark plum colour. Lifted aroma of sweet dried herbs, vanilla, dark cherry and Christmas cake complexity. The palate is rich and very supple, with ripe fruitcake richness and vanilla freshness.

Hand-picked Pinot from the steep slopes of the Omaka Valley was combined with fruit from the Waihopai alluvial soils. This was cold soaked to extract flavour, then fermented with frequent hand punch-downs. The finished wine was aged with French oak for about 10 months.
