Vineyards

Sourced from premium vineyards in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, these sites show a range of soil types from alluvial over a papa pan, silt over gravels and stony gravels. Attention to vine and soil health have contributed to optimum flavour and fruit condition. This classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has produced a wine with great purity, concentration and definition.

Vintage

Despite early season weather concerns, Marlborough has had a superb vintage across all varieties with superb quality and yields being above the long-term average. The fruit remained clean with vibrant flavours and the resulting wines are looking outstanding. With high soil moisture levels leading into the season from heavy winter rain events, the vines got off to a good start with strong canopy growth setting up a strong ‘solar panel’ to ripen the crop. Temperatures hovered just over the long-term average; cool enough to extend the growing season and develop great depth of flavour and bright natural acidity in the fruit. With more elongated, looser grape bunches, there was very little berry squeeze, which coupled with dry weather from veraison through to harvest, resulted in low disease pressure.
