✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Brancott Estate holds a legendary status in New Zealand's viticultural history, famously planting the first commercial vineyards in Marlborough in the 1970s and forever reshaping the global wine landscape. While celebrated for Sauvignon Blanc, their pioneering spirit extended to Pinot Noir, recognizing that the region's cool climate and ancient glacial soils could yield exceptionally expressive reds. The Terroir Series Pinot Noir is crafted to highlight these distinct microclimates, particularly drawing from the clay-rich soils of the Southern Valleys. Here, slow-ripening grapes develop intense red fruit profiles, structural complexity, and a signature savory undertone. Aged in French oak barriques, the wine beautifully balances vibrant cherry and plum notes with subtle spice and earthy elegance, embodying the rugged beauty of the Marlborough landscape.
🍾 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.
