The oak featuring in the wine is only obvious if you are told about it – it is there to provide richness and weight to the mid-palate, which is why we chose large French oak puncheons to do the job. A model vintage in Marlborough provided warm sunny days and cool nights which enabled all-important retention of acidity and ripeness of fruit. The result is a well-structured, luscious rendition of an Austrian classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe 2013 vintage heralded unusually warm days but characteristic cold nights.

Berekah Estate has two hectares of Gruner Veltliner planted with a mixture of the two clones available in New Zealand. It was at Matt’s suggestion that Malcolm took the plunge to plant the new-fangled variety and with now four vintages under its belt it is performing very well on the free-draining, young alluvial soils.

Quick transport to the winery saw the grapes being de-stemmed, crushed and pressed in a gentle pneumatic press to avoid skin-contact and the extraction of harsh phenolics. A press cut was also made. Free run juice went primarily to stainless steel tank to ferment cool, and a 25% portion was split equally into new and used French oak puncheons (500L) where it matured for 8 months. We have six of these puncheons and we love the subtle oak character and weight it gives the wine.

However, the season warmed up heading into February, meaning the grapes went through veraison in very good, clean condition. In the last week or so the nights cooled off, allowing extra time for flavour development heading into harvest. On Monday 23rd March, as we were handpicking our first grapes, we heard that New Zealand was heading into lockdown for a month. Thankfully, harvest could continue as long as all workers met strict criteria. The weather played its part superbly and continued mild, dry conditions meant that the fruit was harvested in perfect condition. Apart from the stress caused by virus and its unknown effects on operations, the actual harvest was a breeze with fruit being harvested in some of the best condition we have ever seen.

However a significant frost on 30th September followed by unsettled weather during flowering severely reduced the number of grapes. From Christmas onwards, conditions reverted to a more usual pattern with sunny, dry weather causing the grass to turn from spring green to golden brown. The grapes started to race towards harvest, but the prolonged dry spell limited any berry expansion, so at harvest we had very clean small berries but also some of the lowest harvest bunch weights since 2007. Our Marlborough harvest began on the 4th of March, nine days earlier than 2020 and certainly one of the earliest harvests in Marlborough. The Grüner Veltliner was the fruit to be picked this year and was delivered into the winery with a comedy flourish on April Fool’s Day.

Cyclone Debbie lashed her fury on the region on the 2nd April while the second cyclone, Cook, hit on 13th April. Storm aside the weather leading up to harvest was very favourable. This vintage demonstrated why GV is like the Buck Shelford of varieties - the hard man of the grape world. It is essentially bullet-proof with its thick skins that are almost impenetrable. Our GV hung out on the vine until 20th April 2017 when the weather played ball again and was at ideal physiological ripeness with the flavour spectrum we seek for in this style. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe McKee Vineyard is located in the coastal Blind River subregion of Marlborough. Soils are comprised of complex silty loams and gravels while the average vine age is 7 years. Proximity to the sea contributed a mineral saline quality to the fruit while the cool coastal microclimate ensures vibrant and focused acidity. We green thinned the crop in early February to ensure the fruit was even and vines were in balance with a yield target of 7 tonnes\/hectare.

This wine is 100% free-run juice only and it was run into large French oak puncheons (~20% new) with the smaller balance to a single stainless steel tank for fermentation. A select yeast strain was used for fermentation which was completed over 12 days and the wine then underwent elevage on lees. It was bottled on the 8th March 2018 and cellared in bottle for a further 4.5 years prior ro release.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"EuroVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49488470802749,"sku":"BC2GVEL617","price":203.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/21916-1.jpg?v=1729033401"},{"product_id":"delta-hatters-hill-marlborough-gruner-veltliner-2021","title":"Delta Hatters Hill Marlborough Grüner Veltliner 2021","description":"\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cstrong\u003eDry style\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cstrong\u003eWhite peach \u0026amp; fig\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cb\u003eSubtle spice\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cb\u003eCrisp acidity\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\"Beautifully styled and elegantly expressed, showing apricot, fig, lemon zest and jasmine aromas, it's juicy and finely flowing in the mouth delivering lively mouthfeel and crisp acidity.
