Winemaker Notes
Rich and golden in color, the wine has distinctive rose petal and spice aromas of ripe Gewürztraminer fruit. A portion of late harvested grapes in the blend provides a hint of honey and apricot aromas. The palate is rich and spicy with a hint of sweetness. The persistence and fullness of flavor is outstanding. Due to the outstanding nature of the vintage, Patutahi Estate 1998 is considered the best vintage produced to date.
Alcohol: 13.6%

Spectator
The Brancott Winery opened in 1977, making it one of the oldest wineries in Marlborough. From producing one of the world's first grape tipping tanks, the winery has stayed true to its pioneering herigate and embraced innovation. It was one of the first to commercially plant Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough in 1973, at the top of New Zealand's South Island and has been heavily instrumental in developing the region as one of the foremost viticultural regions for Sauvignon Blanc world-wide. At present, Brancott Estate continues to lead with its innovative winemaking approach and passionate commitment to excellence under the stewardship of chief winemaker, Patrick Materman.
