 “Combining lovely herbal and mineral complexity with slight spice on the palate, this is really quite classy without sacrificing bright, lively fruit character. The palate’s overall lift and lightness hides a considerable amount of concentration, but where the 2018 expressed it as power and size, the 2020 is all about detail and elegance. All of this wonderfully interwoven complexity finishes on a lovely nutty note that conjures echoes of modern Meursault.”

Commercial description
"This is a youthful wine that’s delicious drinking now, but it will also reward further with cellar age.Pōtiki, meaning ‘last born’ in Maori, is blended from a selection of newer plantings and some of our more established blocks on the Martinborough Terrace.Hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed, with the unsettled juice fully barrel fermented in Burgundy 300L puncheon barrels (20% new) using indigenous yeasts. Partial malolactic. Aged in barrel on lees for 13 months.  Barrel fermented in 300 litre puncheons with indigenous yeasts. The 2020 vintage Is concentrated and detailed, balanced with vibrant acidity. The aroma is a wonderful blend of fennel notes, rock melon and citrus blossom. The palate is focused, with a salty, mineral line that finishes with flavours of fresh white almond."
