Ernie and Jane Hunter were first to put New Zealand on the wine map with the Sauvignon Blanc from the little vineyard beside their winery. The 1985 vintage of that wine astonished everyone, consumers and experts alike, when Tony Laithwaite invited them to exhibit at our London Wine Show. The wine won every award going and started a passion worldwide for Marlborough Sauvignon. Ernie died tragically soon after their success. But Jane carried bravely on and was joined by Cloudy Bay next door, and many others besides. We have remained close to Hunter’s ever since – they are like family. And the Home Block Sauvignon, made purely from the grapes of that original vineyard, is exceptional.
The wine:
Home Block is from their original 8-hectare vineyard … all the grapes handpicked in the cool early morning for extra freshness. The juice is fermented in stainless steel vat, with a 10% portion in old oak puncheons to add creamy texture and richness to the dazzling passionfruit and guava-fresh palate, without any overt oakiness. Critic Yvonne Lorkin described it as, “A superbly structured sauvignon with real complexity and personality and length of flavour. Delicious!” Only 200 cases made each year.
