✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Brancott Estate holds a legendary place in viticultural history as the pioneer that planted Marlborough's very first Sauvignon Blanc vines in 1973, forever transforming New Zealand into a global winemaking powerhouse. The Terroir Series Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a tribute to this heritage, crafted to showcase the distinct microclimates and soil profiles of the region's premier sub-valleys, such as the cooler, wind-swept Awatere Valley. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is fermented primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its intense, vibrant aromatics. It delivers a striking profile of ripe passionfruit, citrus zest, and distinctive flinty minerality, balanced by a crisp, herbaceous backbone that reflects the unique stony soils and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of Marlborough.
🍾 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.
