NOTES
Land that was once a high country sheep station is now a flourishing vineyard. Sheep and rabbits co-existed on the land for quite some time but the sheep couldn't keep up with the nocturnal activity of the rabbits, and in the end were driven off the land. The owner of the Rabbit Ranch – Mr McGregor, planted some vines and tried unsuccessfully to reduce the rabbit population. Rabbits now run free on the vineyard, and fuelled by high altitude Pinot Noir, some are reputed to be the size of ponies, but that's another story...
TASTING NOTES
Bright pale straw colour with green tinge. Lifted nose of passionfruit and ripe gooseberry followed by a hint of fresh tropical fruit and citrus. The acidity is quite evident on the palate with flavours of unripe gooseberry followed by a touch of lemon and grapefruit. The acidity lasts well into the aftertaste, with very long unripe gooseberry and grapefruit emerging.
