Ripe and concentrated, Marama shows dense, fleshy ripe exotic fruits and white skinned passionfruit, that is interlaced with mealy, leesy, savoury notes. The palate is full and structured, with the focus being on mouthfeel and texture rather than fruit. A hugely evocative and seductive wine. Drink now and cellar up to 2028. Winemaking Hand harvested and whole bunch pressed, with the free run racked direct to neutral French oak barrels and puncheons. Each individual component fermented naturally on less, and also went through malolactic ferementation during this period. After 14 months on lees in oak, the components were blended and filtered prior to bottling. No new oak is included in this blend, just a combination of 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill. Vintage 2018 will be remembered as being rather unusual for Marlborough, with a run of wet conditions following a period of warm weather. Fortunately our vineyards all fared well, with low yields and careful management ensuring a large proportion was harvested by the end of March. Above all, we will remember this vintage for its fast and furious nature – blink and you nearly missed it! However the resulting wines are showing a great deal of poise, elegance and subtlety. We are beyond excited to nurture them into the bottle and bring them to market. Viticulture Sourced from our old vines that thrive on river silt terraces in the Central Wairau Valley as well as our clay-rich Raupo Creek vineyard, which has a gentle north-west facing aspect, settled in the centre of the Omaka Valley. Both vineyards are managed following Organic and Biodynamic principles.
