Tinpot Hut 2009 Marlborough Savvy as described by Sam Kim, Senior Wine Judge and author of Wine Orbit:Predominantly from the Turner family vineyard in the Blind River district. This is a gorgeous Sauvignon showing lifted aromas of currant, grapefruit and herbs. The palate is juicy and lively with a nicely weighted mid palate and a lingering crisp finish. The wine has plenty of zing and intensity making it an immensely delicious wine without being overly aggressive. At its best now to 2012, 93 points, 5 Stars. |

| The Story: Winemaker Fiona Turner sourced grapes for the Tinpot Hut 2009 Sauvignon Blanc from selected vineyards in the Blind River sub-region of the Awatere Valley and the rich soils of the Wairau Valley, Marlborough. From this comes a powerful fruit driven wine with aromas reminiscent of blackcurrants and gooseberry, with refreshing notes of freshly crushed green herb. Leading onto a palate that is pleasingly rich and powerful with racy, tangy, well balanced acidity that offers plenty of zip and leads to a crisp lingering finish. A wine that will have you stepping out. Gold at the Varietal Classes NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Interestingly, both the gold medal winners have been here before… Tinpot Hut, incredibly in each of the past three years. |
