The 2008 Heritage Collection No.8 Wire Sauvignon Blanc offers a moderate intensity of pineapple and passion fruit aromas with suggestions of kiwi fruit, toast, hay and lemongrass. Medium bodied with a nice bit of texture, it’s crisp, clean and delicately fruited, finishing with very good persistence. Delicious now, it should cellar through 2014+. Sherwood Estate was started 25 years ago by Dayne and Jill Sherwood. They now have 8 vineyards covering 200 acres - 3 in Marlborough and 5 in Waipara. “Waipara has good mid-palate weight compared to Marlborough with lower cropping in general and the tannins tend to be a bit firmer,” Dayne commented during my visit in July 2011. The wines are naturally fermented using indigenous yeast. The “Heritage” range is made purely with Waipara fruit, with these wines in particular aiming at “being different from your average NZ wine”. These guys are doing a commendable job and their prices offer incredible value.Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
