It's amazing what can happen when two Kiwis, well steeped in the wine business (in fact , one of them the father of the New Zealand Sauvignon, Bill Spence) sit down and have a beer (or two)!  The other bloke, just happened to be a great a winemaker at Matua Valley the company founded by Bill and his brother Ross.  

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2008

2008 was an exceptional vintage in Central Otago.

 
Grown in Central Otago’s Bendigo region, this single vineyard wine shows a nose of ripe cherries and sweet red fruits, complimented by dried flowers and subtle herbal notes. The palate is full and rich with silky tannins supported by savoury earthy notes.  Cellared properly it will mature nicely over the next 4 - 5 years.

Marlborough Pinot Gris 2008

The fruit for this wine was sourced from a single vineyard in Marlborough’s Wairau valley.  It has a nose packed full of powerful aromatics including sweet white peaches, watermelon, honeysuckle, sherbet and floral notes.  Nectarines and peaches fill the palate which has a nice softness and approachability to it. A touch of residual sugar gives a luscious finish.

This wine can be enjoyed immediately, however if cellared correctly will develop more mature characters over the next 3-4 years.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2008

The fruit for this 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine was sourced from a single vineyard in Marlborough’s Wairau valley.

 

Ripe citrus and mineral notes fill the nose, with a subtle sweaty character adding interest in the background. The palate shows good weight and overflows with citrus and passion fruit which is carried by mouth-watering acidity.

This wine is ideal to consume immediately, but will develop more mature Sauvignon Blanc characters over the next two years.
