This vineyard was purchased by Kumeu in 2017 and is seeing dramatic improvements as the new Chardonnay plantings on top quality clones come into play. The soil here is limestone, as opposed to the clay of Auckland, which brings a great zesty character, ideal for Chardonnay. The 2024 wine is richer than previous vintages with white and yellow fruit wonderfully balanced with saline, mineral acidity. Maturation is all in old oak barrels.
