Tasting Notes
100% sangiovese, partially destemmed and macerated for 10 days in tank prior to pressing. This is a wonderfully delicate, pure and precise expression of the variety – light-bodied and refreshing, with amazing clarity of fruit and gentle varietal herbaceousness. In 2024, the fruit is a touch darker and more fleshier than in the previous rendition of the wine, with a slightly more pronounced tannic presence – the silver lining of reduced yields following the cyclone of 2023. - Importer Note
Halcyon Days is the collaborative project of Amy and Olly, who channel their global winemaking experience into expressive, organic wines from Te Matau-a-Māui/Hawke’s Bay. Their fruit comes exclusively from the certified-BioGro Osawa vineyard in Mangatahi, a site defined by cool light-filled conditions and alluvial red gravels that yield grapes of clarity, tension, and natural balance. Working closely with vineyard manager Andrew Colman, they focus on nurturing healthy vines and guiding fruit to the cellar in peak condition. - Pete L
