Winemaking and Viticulture:
The 2022 vintage provided New Zealand’s warmest weather on record. Combined with favorable rainfall after flowering, this created fantastic fruit quality for our 2022 wines. The early and compact harvest, coupled with hard work, allowed our talented winemakers to craft exceptional wines, rivaling those of the past two years with their well-balanced flavors and acidity.
The fruit for our 2022 Syrah comes from a tightly focused group of vineyards in the Bridge Pa subregion of Hawke’s Bay. Grapes were harvested in small containers to ensure whole berries for fermentation. The fruit underwent a brief cold soak in open-top fermenters before natural vineyard and winery yeasts initiated fermentation. Post-fermentation, the wine was pressed into oak for malolactic fermentation. It was then blended, filtered, and bottled.
