Gladstone Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ( PHO ) 2020

13% abv

Vol- 75cl

The voluptuous nose of white nectarine, fresh pistachio and floral highlights doesn’t disappoint when you take that first sip! This is a generous full-flavoured wine with a streak of ripe Meyer lemon, great minerality and a lovely long finish. Drink now or cellar for the next three years.

Fruit from the estate’s organically grown vines in Carters and Dakins road blocks. The home block vines are 25 years old, giving great texture and weight to the final wine. The Dakins Road block is situated on stony river alluvial soils and the home block on slightly heavier silty loam.

Hand-picked fruit was gently whole bunch pressed, while machine-harvested fruit was allowed some skin contact to help extract more flavour. The press fraction was kept separate from the free run juice which was cold settled for three days before being racked off the sediment and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Different fermentation temperatures allow each batch a chance to express itself more freely. After fermentation, the batches were kept on the lees for an extended period with fortnightly stirring to promote palate weight. A component (40%) of barrel-fermented wine was blended to give extra texture and weight.

Gladstone Vineyard, planted in 1986, is located in Gladstone; the central sub-region of the Wairarapa valley. The vineyards are planted along the river terraces of the Ruamahanga River, which has a unique free-draining soil profile of clay over stony silt loams. The microclimatic conditions of their vineyards are semi-maritime, which experiences very cool springs, extended sunshine hours and high exposure to UV light, which provides ideal conditions for the ripening of premium wine grapes.

In 2018, Eddie McDougall and a consortium under The Flying Winemaker acquired Gladstone Vineyard with the view to write the next exciting chapter of this prestigious wine estate. Under Eddie’s helm, Gladstone Vineyard now manages and collaborates with several premium vineyards and growers across the Wairarapa and Hawkes’ Bay; diversifying the estate’s portfolio of wines. In light of the expanding vineyard footprint, Gladstone Vineyard’s core vision remains to be the number one producer of Pinot Noir in New Zealand.
