Tinpot Hut, `McKee Vineyard` Marlborough Grüner Veltliner

Convinced of the potential of Grüner Veltliner in Marlborough, winemakers Fiona Turner and Matt Thomson persuaded some growers to plant a few rows. Produced in tiny quantities, it has flavours of orange blossom, white peach and honeysuckle.

This Grüner Veltliner has delicate aromas of orange blossom and citrus blended with hints of sweet floral honeysuckle. It has great texture with a full mouth feel. Flavours of white peach mingle well with the subtle peppery spice notes. Mineral complexity gives this wine a clean and crisp appeal. The balance of the fruit, acidity and phenolics work very well together and lead to a long, dry finish.
