Brancott
Estate Pinot Noir 2015, Marlborough – Limited Edition Bottle 780
Bold bouquet of ripe dark cherry,
raspberry and spicy new oak scents; clove and toasty vanilla, raw brown sugar
and a hint of bacon. On the palate – equally ripe, intense and fruity with
flavours that reflect the bouquet; crushed raspberry, some red currant and dark
cherry; fine to moderate tannins, decent acidity, plush lengthy finish.
Balanced and well-made. Drink now and through 2026.

Estate Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Gris 2016, Marlborough – Limited Edition Bottle

Plenty of classic Marlborough SB markers
in the bouquet with ripe citrus and tropical fruit scents, a tropical fruits
layer adding depth. The key difference with this wine is the texture in the
bouquet with lees inspired moments, natural fruit spice and a softness. On the
palate – distinctively spicy, fresh and vibrant attack; grapefruit, red and
green apple, pineapple and lees-like ginger note. A layer of fresh herb and
sweet hay swings the palate back to its Marlborough origins. Great acidity and length
– a lovely example taking this brand to a new and higher level.
