Winemaker Notes
Marlboroughs 2000 vintage was classic for Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is made from selected vineyards yielding ripe and intensely flavoured grapes. Its dense aromas of dried herbs and gooseberry lead to an abundance of invigorating and appealing flavours. The palate is crisp and clean, the flavours mouth-watering with varietal intensity. The wine is excellent while young with food and will taste well at four to six years old after a little bottle development.
Recognized for its distinctively herbaceous and aromatic, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand is perfectly suited to the grape with its maritime climate, plenty of rainfall and abundant sunshine. Producers have almost unilaterally embraced cutting-edge winery technology, resulting in clean, high-quality wines at every price point from wallet-friendly to premium. Sauvignon blanc is at its best in Marlborough but thrives throughout as the country. It is New Zealand’s most planted and successful variety, also accounting for an overwhelming majority of its exports.
