Proudly family owned, the Borthwick vineyard is an established vineyard situated in Gladstone, the heart of the Wairarapa. Producing quality wine for over a decade, Paddy, an experienced wine maker, has gained a reputation for producing consistently great wines. The twenty seven hectares of vines bordering the Ruamahunga River are growing on stony, free draining, alluvial soils, with a micro climate giving warm daily temperatures, cool nights and low rainfall; perfect conditions for producing distinctive, quality wines.
Lifted fruit aromas of nectarines, apricots and pineapple have integrated with fermentation in oak to produce a wine of great texture. Extended yeast contact has leant itself to a creamy palate, with almond and toasted bread aromas. This wine shows depth of fruit and great palate weight that is enjoyable now or cellar for the next 6 years.
A great wine to pair with seafood, roast chicken, soft, creamy cheeses or grilled fish.
Beautifully styled and complex, the enticing bouquet shows apricot, fig, nougat and roasted cashew characters with a hint of flinty nuance. It's wonderfully weighted and rounded in the mouth delivering succulent fruit flavours together with creamy texture and well-pitched acidity, making it delectable and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2028.
