Isabel Estate...

Isabel Estate is nestled into the heart of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, situated at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. Marlborough is New Zealand's largest and most successful wine producing area renowned for the production of exuberantly fruity Sauvignon Blanc and intensely aromatic wines.

Isabel Estate aims to produce true “estate” wines - wines produced only from vineyards under its total viticultural control. Isabel Estate endeavours to produce “inspired wines that are a strong expression of the individual style and character as determined by the vineyard soil and site”.

Meticulous quality control in the vineyard and rigorous fruit selection is seen as vital to the overall quality of the final wine. Winemaking focuses on the fruit flavours and subtle complexity to enhance qualities produced in the individual parcels of land.

Only those wines of outstanding quality and character carry the Isabel Estate label. As a result, the wines are justifiably positioned as premium estate wines, sought after the world over.

Fragrant to say the least, wow! The '07 vintage saw its challenges in late spring with frosts affecting flowering, but the low yields were obviously to our advantage.

Flavours explode from the glass! Intense lime and citrus, exotic fruit and floral notes... The palate too is lively, but manages a smooth & round 'delivery' while exuding tropical fruit, tangy citrus and minerality.

This is a bright, crisp and fresh Sauvignon Blanc, but in keeping with the Isabel style it offers good palate weight while maintaining elegance and balance. Certainly enjoyable in its youth, this wine will continue to develop in years to come.
