Winemaker Notes
Deep crimson color, the wine has a nose dominated by plum fruit supported by boysenberry, light chocolate flavors and a toasty vanillin lift from the barrels. The palate has a soft, very fine tannin structure with an excellent mouth-feel. The palate expresses flavors of spice and cassis, vanilla, chocolate box and blackcurrant, resulting in a complex multifaceted wine. It has very good length with an attractive aftertaste.

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.
