SMALL PARCEL WINES FROM ONE OF HAWKES BAY'S GREATEST WINEMAKING TALENTS.

FOUR STARS | Cuisine Magazine
Rod Easthope forged his reputation during his years as Head Winemaker at Craggy Range. These days his focus is on Easthope Winegrowers where he makes small parcel wines of the very highest calibre. The ethos behind Easthope's wines is to put the work in to the vineyard and let the quality of fruit speak for itself - and they have more than achieved that goal.
This hand picked chenin blanc was whole bunch pressed and then fermented in cast stone egg-shaped tanks, skillfully merging fruit and floral characters with savoury brioche-like notes. This is truly elegant wine that can be enjoyed chilled on a summer's evening or cellared for up to ten years. Sublime.

The winery writes "Radiant in the glass with pale straw colour with pronounced green hues. Aromas of ripe apple, dusted with subtle spicy notes and hints of almond icing characterise the nose. Similar characters coat the palate and is framed by balanced acidity and long finish."
