The 2025 Exiled was harvested from hillside vineyards on the eastern side of Waiheke, and the coastal vineyards that fringe the shores of Ponui Island.

Much of the fruit was hand-picked early in the season retaining vibrant acid and green citrus characters, then progressively throughout the season the fruit was picked at increasing levels of ripeness to follow the flavour curve into mandarin, ginger and a small element of noble fruit.

Crushed to the press and settled overnight prior to racking with varying levels of juice solids retained in the juice, fermentation was long and cool, carried out in stainless steel tanks with selected aromatic yeasts, stopping naturally with a modest amount of residual sugar retained to balance the bright acid line.

Bottled young and fresh, Exiled 2025 captures the unique energy of its site; off-dry by design, and distinctly maritime in character.
