grava Sauvignon Blanc

Made from ripe grapes, grava Sauvignon Blanc has a subtle array of tropical fruit characteristics, and a soft mid palate as a result of time spent on fine lees. The wine has a long finish, is food friendly and is a surprising twist on typical New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

The grava Sauvignon Blanc is whole-bunch pressed to produce a wine with refined fruit characters and distinct minerality.

 

grava Riesling

grava Riesling is cold macerated on skins for a short time, then gently pressed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks with a small barrel component. The resulting wine has enticing aromas, great texture, and a strong acid backbone, which will ensure graceful ageing over the coming years.

The grava Riesling is distinguished by its citrus fruit character and a crisp mineral finish.

 

grava Rosé

grava’s Rosé is produced predominantly from a single Pinot Noir clone, picked early to ensure lively acidity to back up the fruit forward characters which represent a great Rosé. The wine is given minimal skin contact in the press - resulting in a subtle salmon-coloured wine.

The grava Rosé is fermented in 500 litre puncheons to produce a fruit-driven wine with a layer of mineral complexity.

 

grava Pinot Noir

The three clones of Pinot Noir grapes grown at grava are the Dijon clones 115 and 777 and Abel (the “gumboot” clone). The Pinot Noir wines made are clone blends - offering optimum aroma and flavour characteristics, making grava Pinots excellent examples from a region famous for this variety.

The grava Pinot Noir shows complex savoury and fruit aromas, followed by a well-structured palate with a long, elegant finish. This wine has not been fined.
