Riesling specialist producing some of Marlborough's finest from their organically farmed 20 hectares of vineyards. Winemaker Andrew Brown has spent many years as understudy at Framingham before becoming head winemaker in 2020, and has much experience as a consultant in regions such as Central Otago, Oregan in the US and Alsace in France.
The Classic Riesling is made from hand-selected parcels, vinified separately, with a small component aged in neutral oak barrels.
