"‘Field Blend’ is an exercise is old vine layering and an homage to pioneering nature of the early vineyards. This gem is a nod to the old ways. Co-planted varietals from a 40-year-old vineyard achieve maximum expression in amphora – layering varietal character for a wine that is at once savoury and sweet, salty and sour hinting at a new sensation with every sip. This wine I consider one of my most explorative and where I let my imagination fly in order to tease out a unique ‘New Zealand-ness’. In order to maintain purity and maximum expression, this wine is raised in amphorae and has no added sulphites."
