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?

This one was a Silver Medal Winner at the Royal Easter Show. Plenty of enticing citrus flavours with just the right acidity to cleanse the palate and really good length too. A lovely bottle of wine.

How much? Where can I buy it?

Available through a number of quality independents and you may even find it on the occassional hotel or restaurant list but still the best deal for Morton Estates Marlborough White Label Sauvignon Blanc 2007 is at www.goodwineonline.co.uk at £8.19
