"With brilliant clarity and intensity, the impressively aromatic bouquet shows kaffir lime, jalapeno, kiwifruit and jasmine notes, leading to a wonderfully structured palate that’s packed with vibrant fruit flavours. Beautifully complemented by saline texture and bright acidity, making it mouth-watering and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2023

"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is gently full, with passionfruit, gooseberry, hreb and green pea aroma. Medium-bodied, passionfruit and gooseberry aromas intermixed with lychee, green herb, pea and a touch of white spice. The mouthfeel is smooth with very fine phenolics; tangy acidity flows elegantly with subtle spice to a long, pure finish. This Sauvignon Blanc is elegantly presented with tropical and herbaceous nuances, showing purity on the silky palate" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Oct 2023

"Pungent, fruity, varietal, herbaceous and mineral. A bouquet of youth and power, variety and impact. Aromas of lemon and sage, white pineapple and lychee nut, there’s a flinty cool river stone quality with peach and passionfruit highlights. On the palate a salivating and saline touch with laser-like acid line contrasted by a core of fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Lengthy, refreshing and delicious, a wine best enjoyed from summer 2024 through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023

With its bright luminosity and a slight green-olive hue, this sauvignon blanc bursts with flavors of kiwi fruit, red capsicum, passionfruit, and gooseberry. The palate is powerful, concentrated, and energetic with a lingering, juicy, mouth-watering acidity, good balance, length, and purity of fruit.

The name Convergence signifies the coming together of flavours from our Wairau and Awatere Valley vineyards.

This year’s harvest stands out as one of the best in the past decade - allowing for perfect picking conditions. The Indian summer, followed by a cooler autumn, allowed for an even, slower ripening period, producing highly concentrated fruit with distinctive flavours. As a result, the wines are pure and powerful, with lifted aromatics, lively acidity and great energy.

The fruit was harvested from Wairau and Awatere Valleys early in the morning to ensure it remained cool and retained purity.

Lightly pressed, the juice was fermented cool, predominately in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and distinctive varietal character. A small portion was fermented in concrete egg tank and clay amphora to add a grainy texture to the palate. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for three months to gain complexity and increase mouthfeel.
