New Zealand White Wine 75 cl Bottle

Grown on the original Home Block planted by the Rose family in the early 1970s, this single vineyard wine has initial vibrant goosberry fruit aromas, complemented by subtle oak and mineral nuances. The palate is luscious and seamless from extended lees contact, with the added dimension of gunflint aroma and a creamy texture. A classy example, not unlike some of the finest Sancerres in France.

Wairau River wines take their name from the river that runs through the heart of the Marlborough wine region. (Wairau is Maori for `many waters`). The Rose family were pioneers in planting vines in the 1970`s and after originally selling the grapes to other wineries (like Cloudy Bay) they launched their own label in the early 1990`s. Today their foresight has created a very successful company which remains family owned and run. Wairau River is one of the largest independent wine estates in Marlborough, and the range of elegant wines is characteristically expressive of its Marlborough roots.
