The 2010 Sauvignon Blanc gives intense grass and pea pod aromas over citrus fruits, lemon and grapefruit, plus some wet pebbles. Medium bodied with lively acidity cutting through a great intensity of flavor, it finishes long and citrusy. Drink it now through 2013. Glazebrook is Ngatawara Estate’s premium label and export brand to USA, UK and Australia. In NZ it is an on-trade brand.Importer: Frederick Wildman and Sons, NY, NY; www.frederickwildman.com

Sourced from Marlborough, this 2009 Glazebrook Sauvignon Blanc has a light, green apple nose with good definition, and nettle and grassy aromas developing with further aeration. The palate is crisp with green apple and kiwi fruit, attractive citrus acidity with a crisp finish. Drink now. Few have more experience in Hawkes Bay than Alwyn Corban, who founded Ngatawara Wines in 1981. He is a talented winemaker, but at times I feel the wines try too hard to impress and there is a tendency to use too much oak when I believe that the fruit is ripe enough to stand on its own. Their Glazebrook series of wines is well worth seeking out and can offer great value.Importer: Frederick Wildman and Sons, New York, NY; tel. 1-800-REDWINE; www.frederickwildman.com.

The 2007 Glazebrook Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc displays a pungent gooseberry and cat’s pee nose, well-balanced and harmonious but without the breeding of the Pinot Gris or the Viognier The roots of Hawkes Bay’s Ngatarawa lay in the Corbans and Glazebrook families who united in 1981 to become one of the first wine producers in the area. The Glazebrooks sold their share in 1999 and the estate is currently run by cousins: Alwyn and Brian Corban. Their main vineyards are located in the heart of the Bridge Pa triangle, whose sandy-loam soil with gravelly sub-soil was formed by an ancient riverbed. There are four brands within the Ngatarawa portfolio, the Alwyn a selection of the best fruit in exceptional years.Importer, Frederick Wildman, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700; fax (212) 355-4719
