Description

Winemakers and husbands Claudia and Bill Small not only know Marlbourgh like the back of their hand and have a great network there, but they also know everything about grape growing and wine making. The two know each other from the viticultural faculty at the University of Adelaide, worked for years for a large wine company in Marlborough and decided to join forces in 2010 and start their own label.

Claudia and Bill run their business in a small-scale and minimalist way, renting part of a wine cellar and sourcing their grapes from some of the best independent grape growers with vineyards in the prettiest parts of Marlborough, such as Awatere and Wairau Valley. Then of course they know best how to translate that beautiful basic material into beautiful wines.

The Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is their signature wine. It is a blend of sauvignon blanc from various sub-regions and in different stages of maturity for a multi-dimensional aroma and taste impression. The Smalls ferment the grapes in stainless steel tanks after harvesting and briefly age the wine on the precipitated yeasts.

The result is a sparkling, modern Marlborough Sauvignon, with an expressive aroma of gooseberry, kiwi and lime and an intense, lively and persistent taste. It goes great with shellfish, but is also perfect as an aperitif. Just new in our range and already a favorite!
