WHY WE LIKE IT - This is a unique vintage with the focus on a core of generous grapefruit aromas and flavors. Sure, there are hints of green herbs and passion fruit, but they're contained, composed, and the overall presentation is—dare we say it—medium-bodied and elegant!
TASTING NOTES: Aroma / Bouquet: An enticing amalgam of tropical fruits, blackcurrant, nectarine, lime and grapefruit underscored with complexing hints of jalapeno and gooseberry. Palate: A full flavoured, elegantly structured wine, with flavours of blackcurrant, boxwood, citrus and stonefruit. Attractive crushed leaf and mouth watering wet river stone notes enhance the lingering, textured finish.
PRODUCTION NOTES: 2020 was a classical growing season with plenty of sunshine, not too much heat through Summer and a return to cool nights preceding harvest, ensuring acidities and flavours remained bright and vibrant. Fruit for this wine is sourced widely and entirely from within Marlborough’s sub regions. Vines are pruned to between two and four canes on a vertical shoot positioned trellis. Shoot thinning, leaf plucking, trimming and crop thinning are used to achieve balanced vines and an open, healthy canopy and clean fruit. The wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel.
PARK PLACE SOMMELIER PAIRING - Pair with white flaky fish or grilled/roasted poultry/veggies in an herbal/savory preparation, creamy pastas/risottos, light salads. Try with a Mushroom & Fontina Quiche with Herbs de Provence.
