Winemaking
The blocks that made the te Pa blend were selected for their superior fruit expression and concentration.
The blocks were fermented separately, mostly in stainless steel tanks, before blending and then aging on light lees. A small percentage (2%) of barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc was used in the blend to contribute richness and texture.

Eye
Light gold with green rays.
Nose
Beautifully perfumed with notes of white nectarine, feijoa, fresh peas and nettle.
Palate
Concentrated and precise, with crisp Granny Smith apple and summer stone fruit flavours, complimented by subtle hints of dried thyme and sage.
This wine possesses crisp, refreshing acidity and a unique mineral saline finish.
Serving and Pairing
A great match with all seafood, particularly shellfish. The crisp flavours work well with fresh summer salads or soft goat cheese. Try this wine with Paua (Abalone) ravioli in a lemon beurre blanc sauce.
