This vintage offers inviting fragrances of white nectarines, almonds, a touch of cloves, and subtle brioche notes. The palate reveals a gentle creaminess alongside hints of butterscotch, showcasing a pure fruit character and notable concentration. Cultivated during a warm early spring with minimal frost, the abundant 2022 growing season resulted in exceptional flowering, producing refined and elegant wines from our renowned Gimblett Gravels and Te Awanga vineyards.
