Floral notes from the Cabernet Franc are evident in the youthful years
of this wine, enhanced with the vibrant red berry fruits of both
varieties. Fine grain French oak barrels add subtle complex aromas and
flavours and add depth to the palate and length of the wine.

The Pettavel extra virgin olive oil has been produced in line with our winemaking philosphy of capturing the varietial charcteristics of source. This oil is fragrant, with a vivid green hue, best consumed while it is young to fully appreciate vibrant fresh aromas and flavours.

Refreshing clean citrus flavours, typical of our cool climate vineyards are expressed with youthful intensity capturing both regional and varietal characters. The barrel fermented component adds the complexity of fragrant French oak, while malo-lactic and lees stirring adds mouth feel and further palate richness and length.

Night harvest and cool fermentation retained the lifted elegant, floral aromas and crisp citrus, apple and pear flavours, which linger with a mineral acid texture. Lively and crisp with a rich round palate this wine is suitable for immediate enjoyment or can be cellared for further complexity and enjoyment of mature Riesling characters.
