The Crossings

Fresh herbs, passionfruit and mandarin shape the aroma. Pure fruit and bright acidity lead into a complex, mineral finish. Fruit from the Awatere and Wairau valleys was harvested from March 26 to April 13. Individual parcels were fermented separately with selected yeasts during a long, cool fermentation. The wine is vegan and made from sustainably grown grapes, with 12.5 percent alcohol.
