Delta Vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc NZ
Description: Light, pale lemon yellow in colour, the Delta Sauvignon Blanc has tremendous intensity on the nose, with perfumes of passion fruit and blackcurrants. On the palate, it is clean and fresh, with good balance between elegant, ripe fruit, crisp minerally acidity and a long, perfumed finish. Sheena Gray, wife of winemaker Matt Thomson, bought this 10 hectare site in Marlborough’s Dillon’s Point in 2001. Matt is convinced that the slightly cooler nights in this sub-region produce wines with more aromatic qualities than other areas. Together with Malcolm Adams, a viticulturist with more than 20 years experience, Matt and Sheena have created one of Marlborough’s mosts outstanding vineyards for Sauvignon Blanc. The soils have a high mineral content and good drainage due to the sand lying beneath the soil’s surface. The wine is bottled under the Stelvin closure, so that it can be enjoyed free from cork taint and in perfect condition. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £128.84

Delta Vineyard Marlborough Pinot Noir NZ
Description: The Delta Vineyard Marlborough Pinot Noir has deep colour with very strong pinot noir aromatic characters. It has very lifted cherry aromas and violet notes. The palate has a silky start and a grainy, mineral-rich finish. It is juicy, but focussed. The Delta Farm, first established in 1848, was purchased in 2000 by four partners, including winemaker Matt Thomson and David Gleave of Liberty Wines. The Delta Vineyard has 30 hectares of Pinot Noir. It is situated on the West Coast Highway in Marlborough in New Zealand’s South Island. Yields are about 7 tonnes per hectare. Vertical shoot positioning is used to give the vines’ canopy the sunlight it needs, and to give the grapes the degree of exposure they require to ripen. The clay soil, combined with the elevation of the vineyard and the factors that make Marlborough such a successful viticultural region (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £74.45

Delta Vineyards HATTERS HILL Pinot Noir Marlborough NZ
Description: Lovely purity and liveliness of fruit. It shows typical black cherry perfume on the nose, with lively yet supple fruit on the palate supported by fine grained tannins. The 40-hectare Delta Vineyard site in Marlborough was bought in 2001 by four partners, amongst whom are winemaker Matt Thomson and UK based wine importer David Gleave MW. It was planted solely with Pinot Noir in 2002 and 2003 and produced its first vintage in 2004. The combination of low vigour clay soils and the best of the new Dijon clones gives us superb fruit, some of the best Pinot I've ever worked with in Marlborough, says Thomson. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £87.30
