Additional Information

The 2013 summer months were the driest in the Matakana area 47 years, with abundant sunshine resulting in harvest temperature 2-3degrees higher than normal. The resulting wine has intense body and depth of fruit, with complex minerality and length on the palate. The 2013 is considered an excellent vintage for Providence.

The wine is a bright cherry color with intense clarity and brightness. On the palate, the wine shows with deep blackberry fruit and dusty tannins, coupled with vanilla undertones.
