The estate is situated in the lower Awatere Valley, Marlborough, the sunny region at the top of New Zealand's South Island. The vineyards are on a silty, stony, free-draining hillside in Dashwood. The 1999 vintage is a rich, ripe Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, with a complex palate of ripe passion fruit and gooseberries. Some delicate oak also shows through. Pale straw colour, clear and bright, it maintains excellent length and a crisp clean finish. This wine is ready for drinking, or may be kept in the cellar for up to 2 years. The long, dry, hot summer was tempered by cool sea breezes, which enhanced tropical fruit flavours and superb acid balance. The grapes were harvested on the 16th April in the cool early of the morning and fermented slowly to retain freshness and flavour. 15% of the wine was fermented in French oak barriques to add more flavour.
