Winemaker Notes
Marlborough enjoyed a typically long dry Autumn in 2000 and as a result of a mid-April harvest, the fruit for this wine was in premium condition and beautifully balanced from a lower than normal cropping level. Ripe flavors abound and combined with varietal freshness and balanced acid, this wine already shows great palate weight and drinkability. Serve with a range of fine cuisine particularly shellfish or simply enjoy as an aperitiff.

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.
