Profile & Story
Named after the ancient glaciation period that formed this exceptional terroir, Otira is the purest expression of the stony soils found on the terraces of our estate. Formed 75,000 years ago, these free-draining soils result in wines with elegant minerality and excellent structure. This parcel is sourced from our Otiran Glacial Stones parcel. This 75,000-year-old soil comprises Greywacke Stones that were deposited as the glacier retreated south towards the West Coast.
Tasting Notes
Ripe aromatics with a delicate expression; elderflower and clover honey adds complexity to the lemonade apple flavors which bloom across the gently pithy, dry palate. Finishing elegantly, 2024 offers finesse, focus and freshness with a cool, citrusy acidity.
Pairing Recommendation
Serve with fresh line-caught fish such as snapper and cod, or pair with a goat’s cheese and fig tart.
