Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The wine is pale straw in color with green highlights. Aromas of ripe gooseberry and bell pepper dominate with tropical melon and grapefruit notes apparent. This wine displays full fruit intensity. The ripe bell pepper and gooseberry
flavors with hints of pungency sit well with the supporting tropical fruit flavors. A well-balanced wine showing the crisp, vivacious acidity associated with this style.

Wine & Spirits
Brancott sets the style for clean, oceanic Marlborough sauvignon with this mouthwatering wine. There's a touch of flint in the aroma, bright passionfruit flavors and fresh acidity to balance it.

The Brancott Winery opened in 1977, making it one of the oldest wineries in Marlborough. From producing one of the world's first grape tipping tanks, the winery has stayed true to its pioneering herigate and embraced innovation. It was one of the first to commercially plant Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough in 1973, at the top of New Zealand's South Island and has been heavily instrumental in developing the region as one of the foremost viticultural regions for Sauvignon Blanc world-wide. At present, Brancott Estate continues to lead with its innovative winemaking approach and passionate commitment to excellence under the stewardship of chief winemaker, Patrick Materman.
