SAUVIGNON BLANC

Sauvignon Blanc is New Zealand’s most widely grown variety made famous by the distinctive wines of Marlborough and Martinborough.

Our philosophy of low intervention winemaking deliberately conserves the true character of the grape whilst exposing the textural elements which are more evocative of the site.

Our single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc wines provide a fascinating insight into these site derived differences. From Te Muna Road in Martinborough, the unique limestone soils produce wines that show a distinctive fine soft chalky texture and great elegance. And in Marlborough, our Avery Vineyard yields grapes with great complexity in the lime, citrus blossom and passionfruit spectrum rather than the distinctive herbaceous and grapefruit notes typical of many Marlborough wines.

"We had a superb Magnum of 2004 Block 14 Syrah this weekend...It's cellared really well and was ultra smooth with lovely full fruit flavours. Favourable comments by all guests at our 30th wedding anniversary dinner. Keep making nice wine for us all."

"If you only have one meal in the area, make it Terroir. The food, service, and wine are outstanding. We had the bone-in roast pork loin that was carved and served table side by a delightful server, including the "cracklings". They also serve short pours of their wines so you can try several.

"The whole experience was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to New Zealand. The staff were very friendly and helpful and there was a roaring fire to welcome us in from the cold. I would recommend a visit to anyone intertested in good food and good wine in a lovely setting."

"We had the most amazing dining experience with attentive staff and the most beautiful food and wine. Thank you so much for providing an amazing venue and stunning ambience to dine in. The most memorable dining experience I have had in a long time."

Michelle Eaton, Hawke's Bay 12/12/2011

"We truly enjoyed the simple pleasures in the cottage during our honeymoon stay. It was romantic and the perfect setting to relax after a long day of wine tasting. If you're looking for a special place and willing to pay a small premium, you should stay here."

Imeyers108, New Jersey (via TripAdvisor) 01/12/2011

"Wonderful food and service for lunch. Loved their wine list - you can sample a range of wines with your meal. Amazing views of Te Mata Peak from your table! One of the highlights was walking through the vineyard and around the pond after lunch."
