The Story
The fruit for this wine was harvested from the best blocks from each of te Pa's two main Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. These blocks were selected for their great fruit expression as well as low cropping, and early ripening characteristics. 50% of this wine was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed. The blocks were fermented separately, mostly in stainless steel tanks, before blending and then aging on light lees. A small percentage of new oak was used in the blend.
About te Pa
Producer Story
te Pā winery, established in 2003, is located on the Wairau Bar in Marlborough, New Zealand's earliest known settlement. The MacDonald family's roots in this area stretch back over 800 years. This ideal location for Sauvignon Blanc is nestled between the Wairau River and Cloudy Bay, which moderate temperature and airflow, promoting even grape ripening and reducing disease. The diverse soil types ensure good drainage. Starting with Sauvignon Blanc in 2003, te Pā released its first wine in 2011. Now managing over 400 hectares, including vineyards in the cooler Awatere Valley, they grow Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. All vineyards are sustainably farmed, reflecting te Pā's commitment to both tradition and modern viticultural practices.
