TASTING NOTE 

Light green gold in colour, our 2019 Petit Manseng has a complex, aromatic bouquet of fresh quince, pineapple and almond. In the mouth, the wine starts sweet and delicate but it is quick to boast a concentrated mid palate of fresh pip fruit with a hint of mango. It has an appealing minerality and faint chalky texture emerges, quite typical of the varietal, adding complexity to the wonderful persistence of flavour. A classic Churton Petit Manseng.

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Churton

Churton was established in 1997 by Sam and Mandy Weaver. From site selection and bio-dynamic practices through to low intervention winemaking, Churton produces exceptional terroir driven wines.

Churton is a 22 hectare single vineyard and encompasses an undulating ridge line between the Omaka and Waihopai valleys in Marlborough, New Zealand. 200 metres above sea level, the distinctive property faces northeast and captures the cool morning and warm daytime sun ideal for slow and long ripening. Soils are older and denser than the neighbouring valley floor with good clay content

 

--------THE REGION--------

Marlborough

New Zealand's answer to Napa Valley, Marlborough accounts for the majority of New Zealand's vines and wine production. Over 75 percent of the vineyards are planted with Sauvignon Blanc and it is where this varietal really shines. The region is also home to New Zealand’s small sparkling-wine industry, using the traditional method to vinify Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
