Winemaker Notes
The wine is light lemon in colour with the nose showing lime/citrus, floral and honey notes. The palate is supple with spice, honeysuckle, and a mineral complexity. Length, structure and flavour intensity make this wine enjoyable now but also one that may be cellared to develop in the bottle for many years.
Alcohol: 12% by volume
Martinborough Vineyard was founded in 1980, when five enthusiasts - Derek Milne, his brother Duncan, Duncan's wife Claire Campbell, Russell Schultz and his wife Sue - planted vines in the deep alluvial gravels. The arrival of Larry McKenna towards the end of 1985 added a winemaker and sixth partner to the venture and began what has become a Martinborough winemaking success story. It is a track record of consistent excellence which most can only marvel at. At a national level, Martinborough Vineyard has won gold medals or better for every Pinot Noir since 1986. In 1989, it won no less than five trophies at one show - for best Muller Thurgau, Riesling,Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Best Wine.
