Gem - Marlborough Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2009 75cl Bottle

Product Description

Restrained & thoughtfully created with the fine balance typical of Corey Hall's wines. In the glass, this builds to show itself as a complex, virtuoso wine that has been recognised as one of New Zealand's best. Tasting note: Passionfruit & gooseberry surrounded by guava & lemon flavours that run smoothly through the palate hemmed by a subtle mineral tone & soft acids. The name Gem is symbolic of our approach
- picking from the best regions & vineyard sites says the winemaker Corey but, it is also his wife's, Meg, name backwards. The name is something Corey thought of while brainstorming (or surfing
- depending on who you ask!) Corey & Megan Hall are passionate about producing single vineyard, handcrafted wines. They are involved at every stage from the selection of vineyard sites through to the winemaking & tasting of their wines with others. Gem wines are about moments in time when you feel truly alive. Corey grew up around the beaches, orchards & vineyards of West Auckl&. After gaining a BSc in chemistry at the University of Auckl&, Corey joined the Matua Valley winery where he worked for 10 years, rising to the position of Senior Winemaker. During that time he graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Graduate Diploma in Oenology. He has worked as a winemaker in Australia, France & California. Food pairing: this wine will be a perfect match with starters, seafood, butter cooked fish & Asian food.
