IN STOCK
Grapes Sauv Blanc
Colour White
Origin New Zealand, South Island
ABV 13.5%

Aged for 12–18 months on the less in concrete eggs and clay amphora. Then aged in bottle for a further 12 months before release. Juicy, fleshy orange, grapefruit flesh on a pillow of creamy leesy character. A subtle tarragon note, too. Inviting. Broad, silky, textural then freshens up to a really vibrant, long finish. Orange and grapefruit pith on the finish. Saline and mineral. Compelling take on the grape. Drinking range: 2023 - 2027 Rating: 17 Oliver Coleman, www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2024)

*Case price discount: Mix any 12 bottles of wine (or 9 litre equivalent) or 6 bottles of Champagne, Spirits, Sweet Wine or Fortified (4.5 litres) to get the discounted 'case price' for each bottle.

Blend of Wairau and Awatere. Some concrete and amphora. MUCH more interesting than the Convergence with layers and stoniness and real refreshment. Quite long. 13.5% Drinking range: 2022 - 2025 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 2023)

Winemaker's notes (Sept 2023)

Two Rivers of Marlborough

David Clouston is originally from Marlborough, and after 22 vintages abroad from Oregon to Chile, Corsica to Alsace, he returned home and set about exploring the valleys and diverse terroirs of Marlborough. The main production is the Sauvignon made from fruit from both the Awatere and Wairau river valleys, whence the 'Two Rivers of Marlborough' name, but his hillside Pinot Noir is showing great potential.
