Sacred Hill Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2010: WINEMAKERS NOTE Pungent lifted aromatics with fresh gooseberry and tropical fruit notes in abundance. Intensely flavoured palate with a medley of classic herbaceous notes, citrus and lemon grass. Lingering fresh finish with crisp appealing dryness. Winemaker | Tony Bish VINTAGE SUMMARY Marlborough has come up trumps this year with intensely flavoured Sauvignon Blanc, spicy Pinot Gris, zingy Riesling and lovely ripe and rich Pinot Noir. Our tanks are brimming with vibrant wines that will hold Marlborough’s position as one of the great wine regions of the world. Lower yields certainly intensified flavours, and the overall cooler season meant varietal intensity was ensured. The long dry autumn allowed a steady flow with no stress points from any rain events, a luxury vintage indeed! VINIFICATION Cool fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and varietal expression. All vineyard parcels fermented separately to allow us diversity and expression to blend with. Sacred Hill Marlborough Pinot Noir 2010: WINEMAKERS NOTE A medley of ripe dark fruits of black cherry and plum dominate the aromatics, nuances of chocolate, all underpinned by oak influenced cedar notes.
