Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The Home Block is where it all began back in 1980, and our quest to perfect Martinborough’s venerable style continues here today with some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in New Zealand. Winemaker Paul Mason’s pursuit of perfection starts in the vineyard and can be found in every structured, balanced, nuanced glass of Martinborough Vineyard.
A light straw colour welcomes you into the glass of our Sauvignon Blanc. Beautiful sub-tropical aromas of passionfruit and snow peas mingle with saline notes and hints of capsicum and guava. The palate continues with vibrant sub-tropical fruit flavours, a lovely length and a creamy mid palate. Partial barrel ferment gives a rich, textured wine, making it a delicious, smooth style of Sauvignon Blanc.
We gently press the grapes and cool ferment the juice in a mix of stainless steel vats and neutral, older French oak barrels to enhance the classic Sauvignon Blanc fruit characters. The barrel portion adds texture, balance and increased complexity to the finished wine whilst the tank fermented portion gives it vibrancy and fruitiness."
