Description
One thought comes to mind - Three Brooms. Intense, yet elegant. Dense, yet light. Rich yet fresh. Layers of Lemongrass, key lime, briny jalapeno, biscuity creaminess and a light flintlock minerality result in amazing complexity and contradiction. And we haven't even tasted It yet. First impressions here are contradictory also, but result in wonderful balance. Supple but amazingly bright and tense with initial flavors of sweet ripe limes and gooseberry. The beautifully broad and juicy acidity carries the wine through a mid-palate of great depth and complexity. Here there is also blackcurrant leaf and a reappearance of the minerality and an almost nutty creaminess that leads to the finish where we see the light smokiness that we've come to expect. The finish is ridiculously long and there is such amazingly vibrant freshness that demands another glass.
With the fruit arriving at the winery In such great condition and at optimum ripeness, my job really Is just a watching brief to protect and nurture the fruit's natural aromatics and flavor and allow the nuances and complexities to build through fermentation and post fermentation lees contact. My notes this year are short, because there is no winemaking wizardry here, just simple care and attention to detail that allows the wine to show itself in the best light possible.
Three Brooms is a single vineyard line of Barker's Marque Wines. Named after Charlie Barker's first venture into hospitality - a tented pub at England's Epsom Downs racecourse - this single vineyard wine draws on the same imagination, integrity and hard work that he showed back in 1920. Nestled between the bluffs of Blind River, in Marlborough's Awatere Valley, our Winemaker Simon Barker and his viticulturalist wife Vanessa provide the kind of personal vine care you can only get by living on the vineyard. Certified Sustainable by New Zealand Winegrowers Three Brooms is accredited as being sustainably grown, made and bottled.
Appellation: Marlborough, New Zealand
Varietals: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
