✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Brancott Estate holds a legendary place in New Zealand wine history as the pioneer that first planted Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough in 1973, forever transforming the global wine landscape. The 'Flight Song' Sauvignon Blanc represents an innovative chapter in this heritage, crafted to be naturally lighter in alcohol and calories. By harvesting the grapes slightly earlier in the season when sugar levels are naturally lower, the winemakers capture the vibrant, signature Marlborough character without sacrificing flavor. The wine showcases the classic terroir of the Wairau Valley, defined by stony, free-draining soils and a cool maritime climate with high sunshine hours. This produces a bright, aromatic profile filled with notes of pink grapefruit, passionfruit, and fresh-cut herbs, supported by a crisp, lively acidity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Brancott Estate blev grundlagt i 1973 af Frank Yukich under Montana Wines og indtager en helt særlig plads i historien som pioneren bag kommerciel vinavl i Marlborough. Stik imod datidens udbredte opfattelse af, at Sydøen var alt for kold til druedyrkning, plantede Yukich de første vinstokke i Brancott Valley. I 1975 fulgte de Sauvignon Blanc-stiklinger, som med den skelsættende debutårgang i 1979 for alvor antændte New Zealands moderne vineventyr. Markerne breder sig over alluviale aflejringer af grus, silt og stenede terrasser, der køles af Stillehavets maritime vinde. Her udnytter vinhuset de markante temperaturforskelle mellem nat og dag til at bevare en spændstig, naturlig syre og fremhæve druernes intense aromaprofil. Dyrkningen følger de strenge retningslinjer fra Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, suppleret af certificerede økologiske parceller. Vinifikationen er centreret omkring temperaturstyret gæring i rustfri ståltanke med millimeterpræcision, suppleret med fadgæring til husets mere prestigefyldte cuvéer. Blandt de toneangivende vine finder man den sortsprægede Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, Letter Series 'B'- og 'R'-aftapningerne med deres elegante fadstruktur samt enkeltmark-ikonet Chosen Rows.
