Description
In 1987, at a time when New Zealand's wine industry was facing significant challenges, Jill and Dayne Sherwood planted their first vines in Canterbury. That leap of faith paid off. Today, Sherwood Estate is one of New Zealand's largest independent, family-owned wineries, with the couple still overseeing every stage of production, from vineyard to bottle.
Their home is the Waipara Valley in North Canterbury, just 45 minutes north of Christchurch. Often seen as a quieter alternative to Marlborough, the region has earned a growing reputation for producing vibrant, expressive Sauvignon Blanc, thanks to its unique climate and long, warm autumns.
A six-bottle case will see you through prawn stir-fries, goat's cheese salads and Friday-night fish and chips, with a bottle left over for unexpected guests.
Tasting Note
The nose is full of herbaceous notes of nettle, green bell pepper and freshly cut grass, framed against a bright citrus and passionfruit freshness. The body is light and textured with a firm acidity and mouth-watering finish. A wonderfully characterful alternative to Marlborough.
