Fincher & Co. Amped & Wilde

A combination of Chardonnay clones hand-picked and pressed directly into both old French oak puncheons and clay Amphora. Golden yellow in colour with gold hues. The bouquet shows aromas of green apple, stone-fruit and flint, mirrored on the palate but with a mineral tension and a lingering nutty finish. Adventurous winemaking results in a texturally different wine, a wine with depth and complexity, not fined and filtered, lifted high on the palate with a vibrant energy.

Taking fruit from some of the nest vineyard sites in New Zealand and vinifying them in a manner that respects the quality of the terroir. A focussed wine style that appeals to true enthusiasts looking for an alternative, yet still recognisable, expression of Marlborough and Central Otago. Created by Master of Wine, Liam Steevenson and Ben Glover, the man who made Mud House the powerhouse it is today, this brand has been built around the importance of finding exceptional vineyards that highlight the intrinsic qualities and diverse nature of Sauvignon Blanc & Pinot Noir. Patience in the vineyard is echoed inside the cellar, resulting in wines that reflect place rather than pure fruit character.
