Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc //​ Loveblock

The grapes are sourced from our family-owned estate vineyards in Marlborough’s Lower Dashwood and Lower Waihopai subregions. The soil type is predominately aged alluvial loams containing some silt loam over stone. As vine vigour determines the crop load, the yield was an average of 4 tonnes per acre. Harvest occurred in the month of April. There is use of manure and horn in the vineyard to promote natural biodiversity and aid healthy grape growth without use of chemical intervention.
