Our Arneis grows on the stony soils of Gibson’s Creek, right in the heart of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. Free-draining and silty, this site is all about minerality – think wet stone and river rock.

The vines are moderately vigorous and need a watchful hand: crop thinning, leaf plucking, trimming – all to keep things in.

Machine harvested in the cool morning hours, cold settled, and cool fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness. Blended and bottled in autumn.
