Wine Tasting Notes
This wine is not an attempt to produce another “classic” Marlborough SB but our desire to make a distinctive wine that has personality and character reflecting all those that have had a part in its creation.
Very low yields in the vineyard and a more old world winekaking approach have come together to make an absolutely individual wine.
Visiting UK Wine Educator Angela Reddin recently tasted and said" Quite WOW. Delicious crisp mouth entry ... at last someone is making a world class pairing of the two in Marlborough."
What more can we say.
Vintage Notes
2006 vintage was a very early spring and as the season wore on it just kept getting warmer. Many vineyards in Marlborough harvested very early to retain their trademark herbaceous characters, in contrast we carefully managed the canopy and yields to allow the vintage to fully express itself in its richness and generosity. With our yields up to half the regional average the grapes still retained their natural vibrancy and freshness while giving a lovely palate weight and richness.
