Careful yield control then guarantees exceptional fruit from one of the globe’s finest sauvignon blanc regions.

    Sub Region: Lower Wairau, Wairau Valley and Southern Valleys
    Harvest Date Range: 21 March – 10 April
    Tasting Notes: Ripe and juicy tropical fruits, rich stone fruit and fresh cut lime combined with notes of fresh picked summer herbs.

    Conservation
    Mohua Wines is proud to play an active role in helping protect the beautiful Mohua, one of New Zealand’s rarest birds. Found only in the most remote parts of the South Island’s pristine rain forests, the Mohua currently occupies less than 5% of its original territory. Their tenuous grip on survival is a direct result of the predators introduced to New Zealand over a century ago, including stoats, rats and possums, which prey on eggs as well as hunting adult birds. In partnership with the Department of Conservation (DOC), Mohua wines provides financial support for protection initiatives, as well as assisting personally with relocation and sanctuary programs. Mohua Wines is committed to helping ensure these stunning choristers flourish and regain their rightful place among New Zealand’s unique fauna.

     

    LISA PERROTTI-BROWN FROM ROBERT PARKER’S THE WINEADVOCATE ON MARLBOROUGH

    Marlborough is quite possibly the greatest new-region success story of our lifetimes. In fact, I pushed it forward as a positive role model in a “China Wine Industry Summit” speech I recently gave at ProWine in Shanghai on the topic of, “Opportunities and Pitfalls for Foreign Investment in the Chinese wine growing industry from an international viewpoint.” Wine, most notably Sauvignon Blanc, has only really been produced in Marlborough on a significant commercial scale since the early 1980s. In fact, the story pretty much began in 1973 when Montana purchased a large swath of vineyard

    “Lemongrass, citrus and pear flavors are clean and bright, set on a sleek frame, with peppery white flower accents and notes of citrus peel that linger. Drink now”- MaryAnn Worobiec
