A medium bodied, supple Chardonnay balanced by a fine seam of fresh acidity with beautifully ripe stonefruit, fresh citrus and floral notes, overlaid with subtle complexities of gunflint, cashew nut, freshly baked bread. Already drinking exceptionally well, with careful cellaring we except this wine to continue to mature gracefully for 4 years or more from vintage date.

Sourced predominantly from the lower Tuki Tuki Valley, the soils here are calcareous clay loams, and in placed a clay pan, over alluvial gravels. This calcareous influence, a result of limestone erosion, lends a mineral edge to the wines while the dense clays and shallow pan, restrict vine vigour. This area is well exposed to the cooling afternoon sea breeze, which helps to retain fragance and fresh acidity in the fruit.

Vines were trained to two cane VSP. Though generally naturally low cropping, we will employ shoot and fruit thinning where required, along with declumping, close canopy trimming and approximately 70% removal of leaf through the fruit zone, to ensure a balanced, evenly spaced crop with dappled shade and good air flow.

Hand-harvested fruit was whole bunch pressed and filled to barrel with no settling or clarification. Wild primary and malolactic fermentation in French oak has delivered an extra degree of complexity and textural interest. A portion of machine harvested fruit was also used, with the juice being settled prior to racking to barrel. This component was allowed to start a wild fermentation but was finished with a selected commercial yeast strain. 25% new oak was used to further enhance the depth of the wine without dominating the fruit. The wine was matured on full yest lees in barrel approximately 8 months with only occasional yeast lees stirring. To avoid any unnecessary stripping effect, the wine was only coarsely filtered for clarity.

Chew proof except for stuffing
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I left Sage with her new chew toy and was distracted by something in the other room. I came back not 5 minutes later, and this was what I saw! Stuffing all over the floor! And that was just the beginning. By the end of the day, I had cleaned up stuffing several times from separate sessions with the toy! The rest of the poor toy is holding together, except that it has lost a couple of squeakers. I don't know whether to recommend it or not. Sage is exceptionally, extraordinarily, extremely, immensely, and profoundly aggressive when she chews (on inanimate objects only -- no humans or other animals!).

Great hit with my dog
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
The gray rhino is a great hit with my dog. She's a medium size golden (53lbs) likes to chew and tug, but she is not not too aggressive with toys, and this has become her favorite toy. Over the last 2 weeks she's removed the top arms from the body and "killed" one of the squeakers, and the arms are now a separate tug toy. We could have put the arms back, but she figured out those come off, and she would take them out again. The armless rhino is still the one she carries around from room to room, plating tug and fetch with every day. The toy is very well stitched, the fabric is of good quality and there are no small pieces that come apart to be swallowed. It gets dirty from all the playing so I plan to throw it in the wash every month or so.

Great toy
Color: Grey
My girl loves this toy. She has a lot of toys but this is her favorite. She is a 26 lb mini golden and we have had it over a year. It is just now starting to show wear. Once it is completely worn out I will buy it again!
