WINEMAKERS COMMENTS:
After almost 10 years making high quality and high profile Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough this is my first true estate wine. I planted these vines, tended them, and harvested the fruit to produce these hand crafted wines. With control over every step of the process, I have produced a wine that is elegant and powerful, intense and balanced.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
With vineyards situated in the Waihopai, Awatere and Upper Wairau areas of Marlborough, New Zealand, Ant Moore wines are generally more restrained with minerality, complexity and great balance. Control and hands-on management of the vineyards and the winemaking process, creates rich wines, with ripe flavours and texture and fresh lifted aromas, signatures of the Marlborough terroir.
