This vibrant wine is a pale straw color with green highlights. The zesty aromas jump from the glass, with highlights of pink grapefruit, citrus and gooseberry. On the palate, flavors of passionfruit, blood orange and fresh citrus. The resulting wine is beautifully balanced, with ripe fruit sweetness and tight fresh acidity this wine leaves you with mouth watering sensations. The Brancott Winery opened in 1977, making it one of the oldest wineries in Marlborough. From producing one of the world's first grape tipping tanks, the winery has stayed true to its pioneering herigate and embraced innovation. It was one of the first to commercially plant Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough in 1973, at the top of New Zealand's South Island and has been heavily instrumental in developing the region as one of the foremost viticultural regions for Sauvignon Blanc world-wide. At present, Brancott Estate continues to lead with its innovative winemaking approach and passionate commitment to excellence under the stewardship of chief winemaker, Patrick Materman.
