Winemaker Notes
The wine is pale straw in color with green tints, which will develop slowly to a rich golden straw color with ageing. Fresh and distinctive Gisborne Chardonnay fruit aromas of pineapple, passionfruit and grapefruit complemented with light oak complexity. The palate is rich and full with mouth filling ripe fruit flavors and a balanced acidity. The fruit flavors are complemented with a light oak character which gives rise to an excellent palate weight and length of flavor. Although drinking excellently now, this wine will continue to develop with cellaring over the next 3 -5 years.

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.
