The Morton Estates Winery is a wine lover’s dream. Privately owned with the focus on producing only good wine – and some exceptional wine too! The winery’s based at Kati Kati below the Coramandel Peninsular where I lived for a year. Morton own some of the best vineyards in both Hawke’s Bay - the best area for Chardonnay, and Marlborough – the best for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. They are one of the few remaining wineries who take complete control of their own wines from vineyard right through to bottle closure, ensuring top quality every step of the way. They’ve won more awards than the Chinese Olympic Team including ‘Decanter - Best Chardonnay in the World’ and ‘New Zealand Winery of the Year’ amongst others. You can order their wines with confidence that they’re going to be good, or even great!

What’s it like?

It’s a single vineyard wine typical of Marlborough Sauvignon with tropical flavours and grassy aromas. Intense fruit on the nose with persistent flavours as the 2007 was considered to be a particularly good year. If Marlborough Sauvignon is your cup of tea you should give all 3 of Morton’s a go as they’re all different in style but all good wines and excellent value for money. 

How much? Where can I buy it?

Morton Estates Marlborough Stonecreek Sauvignon Black 2007 is available from several quality independents but the best deal currently is with www.goodwineonline.co.uk at £9.14
