✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Brancott Estate holds a legendary place in viticultural history as the pioneer that first planted Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough in 1973, forever transforming the global wine landscape. The Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from select vineyard sites across the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, where intense sunshine and cool nights foster an extraordinary concentration of flavors. This wine epitomizes the classic Marlborough style but with enhanced depth and complexity. It is fermented primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its signature vibrant aromatics, resulting in a palate rich with ripe passionfruit, crisp citrus, and a distinctive flinty minerality that pays homage to the stony soils of its origin.
🍾 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.
