Vineyards and Winemaking
-
The climate in Marlborough has high sunshine hours but temperatures during the growing season are regulated by the cooling ocean influence. Colder weather in spring led to a longer than usual flowering season, resulting in looser smaller bunches. Summer temperatures were unusually mild for Marlborough, cool easterly breezes and light cloud cover were common features of the season. The 2017 blend is a combination of Wairau Valley and Awatere Valley vineyards, on a mixture of clay, silt and stony soils.
