Grown in our Redstone Vineyard on the warm soils of the renowned Bridge Pa Triangle Winegrowing District, this area is sheltered from cold air draining out of the high country by Roy’s Hill, while also far enough inland to be little affected by the cool sea breeze. This situation makes this one of the warmest areas in Hawke’s Bay, perfect for the cultivation of our best red grape varieties, but also makes it suitable for this riper, more textural style of Sauvignon Blanc. The soils here are known as red metals, a 10,000-yearold, free draining, alluvial greywacke gravel riverbed since covered by a shallow layer of wind-blown loess, including iron rich volcanic ash that has rust stained the soils. It typically produces ripe, supple and aromatic wines.
