Sherwood Estate is very much a family business, with Dayne and Jill Sherwood owning and operating it since the late 1980's. The winery is located in the picturesque Waipara Valley, while they have four vineyards also owned by Sherwood Estate in the famed Marlborough Region, at the top of the South Island. Based on nearly twenty years of growing grapes and making wine, Sherwood Estate now specialise in Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. Sherwood Estate produce three ranges of wines the Clearwater Range, the Sherwood Estate Range and the the Stratum Range. The Sherwood range proudly carries the name of the winery and reflects Sherwood Estate's commitment to the highest quality. The wines are varietally focussed and come from Sherwood Estates Rowley Crescent vineyard in Marlborough as well as selected growers in the Awatere Valley. After a gentle pressing and light settling the chardonnay was barrel and tank fermented. This was followed by an extended lees contact period and lightly fined, filtered and bottled. The lovely yellow coloured Chardonnay displays stone fruit characters on the nose with delicate oak aromas from ageing. On the palate this wine is rich, round with well balanced acidity and enjoyable finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Based on nearly twenty years of growing grapes and making wine, Sherwood Estate now specialise in Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. Sherwood Estate produce three ranges of wines the Clearwater Range, the Sherwood Estate Range and the the Stratum Range. The Clearwater range represents the very best varietal single vineyard wines from Sherwood Estate's own vineyards in Waipara. This is very much a hand crafted range both in the vineyards and winery, here meticulous care is taken to ensure that the wine produced is of the highest quality and reflects each vineyard's unique characteristics or 'terroir'. The Pinot Noir grapes were selected from the Webbs Vineyard in Marlborough and the fruit was hand harvested before going into the winery. After crushing and destemming, the fruit was transferred to four tonne open top fermenters. Over the course of the fermentation the tanks were hand plunged 4-5 times daily. Following 21 days of skin contact the fruit was pressed prior to ageing for 11 months in French oak barriques. This Clearwater Vineyard Pinot Noir is made in a traditionally Burgundian manner and captures the true essence of the variety. The nose displays rich, red berry fruit aromas integrated with careful oak handling, while on the palate it is round and full with lovely texture, silky tannin structure, opulent mouthfeel and length showing savoury on the finish.
