The Taste Collection is a celebration of the generous and distinct flavours that have made Selaks Wines so extraordinary and sought after for more than 85 years.
VITICULTURE AND WINEMAKING
2022 was a stunning year for Hawkes Bay across all varietals. A very dry and warm growing period over summer that continued right through the autumn harvest window resulted in fruit with great concentration of flavour, and the grapes were harvested in perfect condition at optimal ripeness.
On arrival from the Vineyards being destemmed, the fruit was crushed and gently pressed. Only the first juice from the press - the "free run" was used in this blend. Clarified juice was carefully fermented under controlled conditions, with the aim of maximizing primary fruit character. After fermentation, juice underwent oak maturation, adding depth and subtle oak notes to the vibrant fruit flavours.
