2019 vintage is one of the best we’ve seen in decades. A combination of the hot summer
and lower fruit yields meant that the harvest occurred around two weeks earlier than the
long-term average. Fruit was in perfect condition across all Marlborough varieties loaded
with intensity. Harvest was completed within three weeks, with only one minor rain event
that bought about a small pause.
Our Sauvignon Blanc fruit achieved good ripeness resulting in wines with a strong tropical
expression of fruit and exceptional intensity.
