The 2009 Heritage Collection No.8 Wire Sauvignon Blanc has a moderately pronounced nose of wet pebbles and fresh sage over lemon peel, gooseberries and grapefruit. Dry, crisp and medium bodied, the citrus and earth flavors are concentrated and nicely textured, finishing long and a little savory. Drink it now to 2015+. Sherwood Estate was started 25 years ago by Dayne and Jill Sherwood. They now have 8 vineyards covering 200 acres - 3 in Marlborough and 5 in Waipara. “Waipara has good mid-palate weight compared to Marlborough with lower cropping in general and the tannins tend to be a bit firmer,” Dayne commented during my visit in July 2011. The wines are naturally fermented using indigenous yeast. The “Heritage” range is made purely with Waipara fruit, with these wines in particular aiming at “being different from your average NZ wine”. These guys are doing a commendable job and their prices offer incredible value.Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030

Aged for 10 months in barrel with partial malolactic, the 2007 Heritage Collection No. 8 Wire Sauvignon Blanc has a pungent cat's pee nose that is loud -n proud! Gooseberry on the nose, touch of coconut from the malo with a lovely rounded finish, this fills the mouth with gorgeous Savvy. Excellent. Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel.
