Current winemaker, Nadine Worley, is Australian born but loves cool climate winemaking, especially Sauvignon Blanc. The Estate Sauvignon is just so consistently reliable that it really is the benchmark here. The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Mud House Vineyard in the upper Wairau Valley, and from selected growers in the Awatere, Ure, and Wairau valleys. We love this wine as it always offers the bright fruit of a New Zealand Sauvignon without going over the top: there’s a poise and balance so it’s equally as good with food as on its own. Enticing aromas of green pea and ripe citrus. The palate has real zip and intensity, offering ripe gooseberry and lime. A classic. Now-2013
