✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Brancott Estate holds a pioneering place in New Zealand's wine history, famously planting the very first commercial vineyards in Marlborough in the 1970s. While celebrated for Sauvignon Blanc, their exploration of Pinot Noir helped define the Southern Hemisphere's cool-climate red wine profile. The Reserve Pinot Noir is sourced from select low-yielding vineyards across the Marlborough region, where warm days and cool nights preserve the grape's natural acidity and vibrant red fruit character. Traditionally fermented in small batches and aged in a selection of French oak barriques, this wine beautifully balances the bright, crunchy red cherry and plum notes of Marlborough with subtle savory undertones, soft tannins, and a touch of sweet spice.
🍾 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.
