Quintessential Sauvy, from all over the place!
Intrigued? Well in actual fact we mean the grapes were sourced from all over Marlborough – from the sunny Wairau Valley to the cooler region of Awatere. The winemakers at The Hunting Lodge have done such a great job crafting this wine that the integration and balance is like no other. The palate begins tropical, think passionfruit, pineapple and red apple, before finishing herbal and green. The acidity is lip-smacking and the four months it spends ageing on lees really helps to round the finish out. Grab a mixed case before we run out!

The Hunting Lodge ‘Expressions’ range has sustainability at the forefront with the labels and cartons being produced from 100% recycled material.

4.5 Stars Michael Cooper

93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit – ”
The wine is instantly appealing on the nose showing passionfruit, kiwifruit, rockmelon and lime peel aromas, followed by a succulent palate that is vibrant and lively. It is bright, refreshing and lingering with plenty of delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2020.”

Description

Meet the maker
 
The Hunting Lodge produce beautiful wines from sites across NZ, particularly West Auckland, Marlborough and Central Otago. Their West Auckland spot charmingly tells their story with vines lining the drive as you come in, a lush vege garden off to one side and then a community of buildings surrounding each other.
One of the buildings that stands out is their restaurant and it’s a longstanding symbol of the quality that The Hunting Lodge produce in regards to both their wine and food. It’s a beautiful Villa with character and charm yet simplicity and approachability. 
A term you’ll hear a lot around The Hunting Lodge is ‘pasture-to-plate philosophy’ and this involves the team growing as much produce as they can on site to supply their restaurant and sourcing whatever else they need locally.
This ethos carries through to their wines as they have a strong sense of terroir and place due to minimal interventionist winemaking techniques. Personality and uniqueness is therefore in abundance, and this is only emphasised by some of the unique varietals The Hunting Lodge use to produce wines. Lagrein anyone?!
