Winemaker Notes
This is the original Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. We were first to
recognise Marlborough's potential for exceptional Sauvignon Blanc,
planting the varietal on Brancott Vineyard. Aromas of ripe lemongrass and tropical rock melon are immediately apparent, allied with a range of sweet, tropical top notes. Brancott Estate's Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a fruit-driven wine crafted in a style that epitomises the character and flavour of the Marlborough region. It justly deserves its international reputation for quality and consistency.

The spicy quince and Asian pear flavors rest on a crisp, juicy body, with plenty of lime zest and grapefruit notes, especially on the finish.

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.
