The 2019 growing season in Marlborough was a hot and dry one. We received small amounts of rain towards the end of December, but then nothing further until late February. These rain events had very little impact on soil moisture levels, but helped to replenish our rivers, setting us up nicely to see us through to harvest. Vintage started in mid-March and it provided us with incredibly stable weather. This meant we could pick blocks at their optimal ripeness.

Individual parcels of Sauvignon Blanc were selected from our Awatere Valley vineyards, where they were harvested separately at perfect ripeness. At the winery, the fruit was destemmed, gently pressed and settled, after which the clear juice was inoculated with carefully selected yeast. A long cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks enhanced the fruit flavours this Sauvignon Blanc in known for. The wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered in preparation for bottling.

Wine is made all over the world, and is many things to many people. But no matter where it’s from, or what it means to you, one thing always seems to remain true: a great wine is made even better when enjoyed in good company. In New Zealand we try to be good, to put more into the land than we ever take out. If we look after the land, it will look after us. So raise a glass to the land and enjoy…with Good Company.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with fresh seafood.
