The Wine

Country of origin:

New Zealand

Region:

Marlborough

This is a very special bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Single estate, handpicked and produced in very limited quantities. Everything is done with the utmost care from the vineyard through to the bottling. Gentle handling during harvest, followed by whole bunch crushing of the grapes allows the delicate mineral and citrus characters to show through on a palate. It is further layered with tropical fruit and underlying herbaceous flavours. It is mouth filling, crisp and fully dry, with excellent vibrancy, delicacy and depth.

The Winemaker

Gordon Ritchie
Winemaker:

Gordon Ritchie

Walnut Block is the vision of two brothers - Clyde and Nigel Sowman. The name was inspired by Marlborough's oldest walnut tree that sits in the heart of their vineyards. In combining their experience in viticulture and the wine industry with their passion for and appreciation of fine wine, they have created a unique range of superbly crafted Marlborough wines.

"Handpicked from our oldest vines, this limited release Sauvignon Blanc displays delicacy and finesse while capturing the intense characters Marlborough is famous for. Concentrated aromas and flavours of tropical fruits and ripe citrus are revealed on a richly textured palate. Fine acidity gives the wine beautiful balance and length." - Gordon Ritchie, Winemaker.
