To make this wine Sauvignon grapes were sourced from three quite unique Wairau Valley vineyards. Two are Ra Nui vineyards, Cob Cottage and Summer Valley. The Cob Cottage vineyard lies in the South Eastern corner of the Wairau Valley, on the road just south of the township of Blenheim. The soil here is a mixture of gravel and sandy loam areas with some clay components. The Summer Valley vineyard lies 800 meters to the south of Cob Cottage and is a particularly warm block with fine loess soils and a raised northerly aspect. The third vineyard is owned by our long term friends and growers, the Roughan Lee’s. They run a small vineyard that lies between the township of Renwick, in the heart of the Wairau Valley, and the banks of the Omaka River. This vineyard is one of the earliest planted in the Wairau Valley and is comprised of stony, free draining soils with natural low fertility. Clear, brilliant pale straw. The nose exhibits zesty citrus characters which then give way to more dominant tropical fruit characters, passionfruit and mango. On the palate herbaceous, bone dry with crisp acidity, silken texture and a lengthy finish. Classic Marlborough Sauvignon.
