The Colonial Estate Emissaire Eden Valley Riesling 2017

Grapes were harvested at optimum flavour and acid balance the ripening of the grapes was monitored with regular berry tasting by winemaker and grower. The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night and rapidly transported to the winery. After crushing and must chilling, the free run juice was drained and clarified with minimum skin contact. This juice was then cool fermented between 12 – 15C with selected yeast to enhance the delicate Riesling flavours. The wine was bottled young to retain as much fruit flavour as possible.  A fantastic example of Riesling that will age well for at least 5 years and over time age will enable the develop some ily character.

Redwood Hills Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Our Wairau Bar Home Vineyard is cane pruned on 3 and 4 cane VSP trellising.  The rich top soils of the lower Wairau Valley have long been considered the finest agricultural soils in Marlborough. They give us complex flavours and pungent aromatics. Combine this with the influence from Rarangi alluvials deposited by the mighty Wairau River hundreds of years ago, and we present a wine brimming with complexity, personality and expression. 

The fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning and transferred to the winery where it underwent temperaturecontrolled fermentation in stainless steel tanks using carefully selected yeast cultures. Post-ferment maturation on fine lees gives the wine a refined texture to compliment the exuberant aromatics.

The 2015/2016 growing season was warm and dry. A couple of heavy, but isolated, rain events in January and March provided some drought relief and kept canopies healthy and green.   There was very little disease pressure leading into harvest, so we were able to pick blocks purely on flavour and ripeness.   The resulting wine is an aromatic and generous expression of Sauvignon Blanc.
