MARLBOROUGH
At the north eastern tip of the South Island, Marlborough is probably the best known of New Zealand's wine growing areas, largely down to the rise to fame of Cloudy Bay in the mid 1980s. Vines are grown in a wide river valley, that has a number of different soil types, from shallow, stony soils to areas covered in large surface boulders. Sauvignon Blanc is the most common variety, follwed by Chardonnay, but other varieties such as Riesling and Pinot Noir are also grown successfully.

Lemon gold. Fresh-cut passionfruit, guava, lime curd, currant leaf and citrus zest. Powerful passionfruit, guava and limoncello flavours, and a rich texture with a very long finish.

TASTING NOTES
Pale straw with green highlights. Lemon grass, lime peel and elderflower, with background notes of white currant and red pepper. Medium-bodied with white peach, gooseberry and citrus flavours, and a dry mineral finish. Very enjoyable when young and fresh, will age gracefully with careful cellaring. Perfect with fresh, leafy green salads, seafood of all types and dishes with lifted, aromatic herbs.
