Marlborough, New Zealand
For many people, Marlborough, located at the top of the North Island, IS New Zealand. After all, it was Marlborough, and its acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc, that brought New Zealand to the wine world’s attention. But although Sauvignon Blanc remains the area’s flagship, Marlborough’s diverse meso-climates and sub-regions also offer pure, intensely flavoured Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and aromatic whites.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
For a quintessential Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc we sourced our grapes from across the region, including the Awatere and Wairau Valleys. Each fruit parcel was harvested individually, then pressed on arrival to the winery. The juice was cool fermented in stainless steel with special 821 South yeasts to create our mouth-watering style of Sauvignon Blanc. To support the fruit flavours and texture in this wine, we left it to sit on light lees just before blending which has resulted in a lush mouthfeel.
