The vineyards for ABEL winery are on rolling hills near the Tasman Sea, benefiting from lots of sunshine and a cool maritime breeze. The wine is made with whole bunch pressing, wild fermentation, and 12 months of maturation in French oak, with light filtration before bottling.
Vibrant, with a flinty, lightly smoky nose of pure lime and tangerine fruit. The palate has great energy, a line of acid cutting through the bright, ripe fruit at the core. Layers of lemon, lime and tangerine follow on from the nose. Very approachable and very moreish!
