Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Think Marlborough - Think Sauvignon Blanc. Typically sunny summers and long autumns ensure grapes always get plenty of sun and when combined with some nippy mornings along the way, Marlborough produces beautifully balanced fresh wines that put a sparkle in your eye.Fresh and zesty citrus is paired with crisp herbal notes and of course gooseberries!

"Lively and bright, with very good intensity to the tangy lemon-lime, crushed stone and grass undertones."

Wild Rock, New Zealand
When we started Wild Rock, we promised ourselves that we were going to make some of New Zealand's most distinctive and affordable wines. We weren't going to be insular. We weren't going to hunker down in one place and just make the best wines that we could from that place. Oh no. What we wanted to produce - and what we do produce - are wines that represent the best flavours of New Zealand, from north to south, east to west.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

Home to the globe’s most southerly vineyards, which are cultivated below the 45th parallel, Central Otago is a true one-of-a-kind wine growing region, but not only because of its extreme location.

Central Otago is more dependent on one single variety than any other region in New Zealand—and it isn’t Sauvignon blanc. They don’t even make Sauvignon blanc there.

Pinot Noir claims nearly 75% of the region’s vineyards with Pinot Gris coming in a far second place and Riesling behind it. This is also New Zealand’s only wine region with a continental climate, giving it more diurnal and seasonal temperature shifts than any other.

The subregion of Bannockburn has enjoyed the most success historically but the area’s exceptional growth has moved to the promising regions of Cromwell/Bendigo and Alexandra districts. Central Otago is known for its fruity and full-bodied Pinot noir. With the freedom to experiment here, growers and winemakers are easily exhibiting the area’s great potential.
