Scattered throughout are notes of nutmeg and clove with floral highlights of jasmine. The luxurious palate is rich, soft and full of peaches, cream and toasted hazelnuts all combining to give a full textural finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe 2017 season began with above average October and November rainfall. Above average temperatures started off the growing season but only lasted until December and were around average from then on. February delivered nearly 140% of the average monthly rainfall, and April delivered 252% of the monthly average rainfall. The crop levels were in line with long term average, but prompt and early decisions were the order of the day over harvest to minimize the effects of the rainfall events generated by ex-tropical cyclones Debbie and Cook. With its concentrated fruit and balanced acidity, this wine has the potential to cellar for five to ten years with careful storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe fruit was sourced from premium vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau valley. The southern side of the Wairau, where Brancott Vineyard and Renwick vineyards are situated, is characterized by older, more structural soils with higher clay content. Formed from glacial outwash and windblown loess, they are still free-draining, but have a much higher nutrient content than those on the northern side of the valley. Wines from this soil type typically exhibit greater flesh and texture compared with wines from the northern valley gravelly soil types. The fruit predominately used in this blend is Mendoza clone on Schwarzmann rootstock planted in 1992. The pruning regime on these select vines is Slyvos. The balance of the blend is Clone 95 and Clone 6 on low vigor rootstocks that were planted in 1996 and 1995. The pruning regime is VSP with two canes laid down.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tOnly the best blocks of grapes were selected for this wine. The block was carefully hand harvested then whole cluster pressed. The ferments underwent full wild fermentation adding a wonderful textural dimension to the wine. All components underwent a full malolactic fermentation to soften acidity and add a textural creaminess to the wine. Each parcel was lees stirred regularly to integrate oak characters and enhance the mealy, nutty qualities evident on the nose. Only the best barrels were selected for this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tFood Pairing: This wine would be accompanied perfectly with a wide range of savoury foods such as parmesan either on a cheese and charcuterie board or garnishing dishes.

Around two thirds of this comes from sites within close proximity of the coast, predominantly focused around the lower reaches of the Tuki Tuki River. This area is affected by cooling afternoon sea breezes, while the soils are predominantly alluvial clay loam over river gravels with a calcareous influence due to the limestone hills further upstream. The combination of cooler daytime temperatures and limestone influence brings a degree of minerality to wines grown in this area, while the fruit spectrum tends towards citrus and nectarine. Further fruit comes from slightly elevated, inland sites in the Tutaikuri and Ngaruroro River valleys. Here there is less influence from the sea breeze and more diurnal variation. Days are warmer and nights are cooler and the soils are lighter with less influence of limestone, and more influence of iron rich volcanic ash.

Our Brancott Estate Reserve range explores the unique land and climate of Wairau, Awatere and Hawke's Bay. Sourcing our best grapes to bring you a truly exceptional range of wines. Our Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay vineyards are scattered across the region and each appellation has its own unique character. Around two thirds of this comes from sites within close proximity of the coast, predominantly focused around the lower reaches of the Tuki Tuki River. This area is affected by cooling afternoon sea breezes, while the soils are predominantly alluvial clay loam over river gravels with a calcareous influence due to the limestone hills further upstream. The combination of cooler daytime temperatures and limestone influence brings a degree of minerality to wines grown in this area, while the fruit spectrum tends towards citrus and nectarine. Further fruit comes from slightly elevated, inland sites in the Tutaikuri and Ngaruroro River valleys. Here there is less influence from the sea breeze and more diurnal variation. Days are warmer and nights are cooler and the soils are lighter with less influence of limestone, and more influence of iron rich volcanic ash. The wines from these inland sights are less mineral driven but vibrantly flavoured tending toward more tropical fruit flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tNew Zealand had ideal growing conditions leading into harvest with average crops and clean, intensively flavourful fruit with early budburst across all the wine regions.

This range takes its name from the distinctive stony soils on which the Stoneleigh vineyards are located.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe Stoneleigh vineyard sites are located on the northern side of the Wairau Valley, in close proximity to the mighty Wairau River. Often referred to as the ‘Rapaura Series’ of soils, they are characterised as young soils, based on river silts and stones. These soils tend to be low in nutrients and have poor waterholding capacity. A key feature is the prevalence of smooth sunstones that reflect the sun’s heat onto the grapes, and enhance ripening.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tNiwa Clinfo database and Marlborough Research Centre online Weather data. The 2018 season began with good soil moisture reserves carried forward from autumn and winter rains. This was beneficial, as October to December rainfall was below average. January and February rainfall was well above average, as ex tropical cyclones Fehi and Gita passed across the middle of NZ. Coupled with warm temperatures in these months, strong growth was evident in both the grape canopy and the vineyard floor vegetation. Irrigation systems were not required from mid-January onwards this season. March and April rainfall was marginally above the LTA. On the back of the January and February rainfall though it meant that, like 2017, prompt harvest decisions were the order of the day, minimizing the adverse effects on fruit condition. The crop levels were in line with long term average. Like 2017, there was an almost seamless move from the low alcohol Sauvignon blanc into the table wine Sauvignon blanc harvest. The first sparkling fruit was picked on 27th February, and the Waipara SBL was harvested on the 9th of April. A couple of small parcels completed harvest by 12th April.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe fruit for this wine was harvested on the 27th and 29th of March 2018 from two selected blocks on our premium Stoneleigh vineyard. It was gently bag pressed, then fermented with selected yeast strains at cool temperature in stainless steel tanks. The tanks were carefully blended after fermentation to produce a reflection of the unique regional and characteristics of this site. No oak was used in the winemaking, to showcase the focussed fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tFood Pairing: This full-flavoured wine will match beautifully with rich creamy foods such as beef stroganoff or Sunday roast with dauphinoise potatoes. Dishes with spice accents such as braised pork and ginger or smoked fish kedgeree will pair well, as will a rich chicken tikka masala. If you can make a bottle last through mains, try with a cinnamon-dusted brioche bread-and-butter pudding as a luxurious dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Pernod","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49488478535997,"sku":"216730","price":131.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/22065-1.jpg?v=1729033453"},{"product_id":"brancott-estate-letter-series-b-marlborough-sauvignon-blanc-2022","title":"Brancott Estate Letter Series 'B' Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Very good wine from a challenging vintage.
