點擊次數：20804

The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc is the debut vintage from a parcel bought by the owners of Twin Valley, and very promising it is, too, with light pear and passion fruit on the nose, good weight on the palate with hints of apricot and white peach leading to a honeyed finish. Respected winemaker Brian Bicknell established Mahi (meaning “our work, our craft”) in 2001 having made wine at Errazuriz in Chile and then undertaking much consultancy work in Marlborough in the late 1990’s, including Seresin amongst others. He first acquired the 1.5 hectares Byrne vineyard containing Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, his approach to make a natural, “hands-off” style of wine and in 2003 he began sourcing fruit from the Twins Vineyard in the Wairau Valley planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. But it was not until he resigned his consultancy commitments in 2006 that he could devote himself fully to Mahi. These are exciting wines crafted by a man with great experience.Importer: Vine Street Imports, Philadelphia, PA; tel. (215) 533-9463; fax (215) 533-8163
