Winemaking
Lady Syme is handpicked and gently whole bunch pressed. It is matured for 11 months as a still wine before undergoing secondary fermentation. It is aged in the bottle on lees for 4.5 years.
The 2014 season had higher rainfall than usual due to an active cyclone season with rain depressions falling on New Zealand. Harvest was brought forward by a week to avoid the impact of a third cyclone resulting in crisp, fruit driven sparkling. This harvest solely focused on picking the premium grapes and perfect bunches before the weather closed in.
This wine would not have been possible without the support of the Syme Family who endured cyclones, closed roads, and 23 hours working straight to ensure our grapes were picked and pressed in perfect condition.
