Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Thirty percent of this wine was barrel fermented and aged for five months, in one and two year old French barriques, before bottling on 7th October 1999. This is a fine example of the powerful, complex style of Sauvignon Blanc for which the Hawkes Bay region is acclaimed. A mouthfilling wine, it has rich, ripely herbaceous flavours, a subtle seasoning of French oak and a slightly creamy texture. It will mature well, but is delicious in its youth.

Mills Reef, New Zealand
Mills Reef Winery Video

The Preston family established Mills Reef Winery in 1989. Adding commitment and dedication to excellence, MillsReef has established itself as one of New Zealand's premium wine brands with a particular reputation for outstanding Bordeaux varietal reds and Syrah from the renowned Gimblett Gravels District in Hawkes Bay. Located at 143 Moffat Road, Bethlehem, Tauranga, the Art Deco style architecture is a reflection on Hawkes Bay, and specifically Napier - the Art Deco capital of the world.

Mills Reef Winery has frequently been acclaimed as one of the most stylish and attractive wineries in New Zealand. Set on 20 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the complex boasts full wine-making and bottling facilities, two underground barrel cellars, an aged wine cellar and an enviable reputation as one of New Zealand's leading wine producers.

Although New Zealand is known primarily as a cool climate winemaking country, there are exclusive regions, one of which is Hawkes Bay, that lend themselves to a warmer style of winemaking. The Gimblett Gravels appellation is a sub-region of Hawkes Bay, and is a gem in the NZ winegrowing landscape, with its particular stony soils that enable winemakers to produce superb Bordeaux style wines, hence our focus.

Recognized for its distinctively herbaceous and aromatic, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand is perfectly suited to the grape with its maritime climate, plenty of rainfall and abundant sunshine. Producers have almost unilaterally embraced cutting-edge winery technology, resulting in clean, high-quality wines at every price point from wallet-friendly to premium. Sauvignon blanc is at its best in Marlborough but thrives throughout as the country. It is New Zealand’s most planted and successful variety, also accounting for an overwhelming majority of its exports.
