Tasting Notes
Aroma
Classically Marlborough, the first swirl has aromas of zesty lime,
sweet pea and freshly cut passionfruit.
Palate
Well balanced, with flavours of
Liberty apple, white nectarine and a dash of sweet herbs, that flow with
minerality to a rounded and soft finish.
Vintage Notes
A truly remarkable growing season that was marked by dry weather. A
late season frost and a cooler start to the flowering period in December
created conditions for low-yields across much of the region. As an average
our estate and grower blocks were 25-30% down, with a surprising num-
ber of Sauvignon vineyards yielding single digits. Pristinely clean fruit on
the vine with smaller than usual bunches had Marlborough vintners quietly
brimming with excitement.
With no disease pressure, and the driest summer in Marlborough for over
90 years harvest started on the 13th of March and was more of a sprint
than a marathon, with the last block coming in on the 30th of March. The
earliest and quickest harvest in many years. The wine displays the season
very well, with excellent flavour intensity and plush mid-palate fruit weight.
A great expression of Sauvignon from a fantastic vintage.
Region Notes
The fruit for Crowded House is from sustainable vineyards in the
Wairau Valley of Marlborough. These sites are expressive of ‘classic’
Marlborough Sauvignon, where the industry first began. Sauvignon as
variety loves the relatively fertile and free draining soils that bask in
sunshine throughout summer.
