WINE DESCRIPTION
Winemaker Ant Moore, originally from Australia, moved to New Zealand in 2002. He seamlessly integrated himself into Marlborough's vibrant wine scene.
Ant's vineyards are located in and around Marlborough, particularly in the Awatere, Waihopai and Wairau Valleys sub-regions. These vineyards are benefitting from a variety of microclimates and terroirs, each of which lend a unique personality to his wines. The Estate Series is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including cool fermentation and aging on lees, which results in a crisp and refreshing wine with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit flavors.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Ant Moore Estate Series Sauvignon Blanc is an aromatic white wine, with aromas of fresh cut grass, citrus and peach.On the palate, it is crisp and light-bodied with a hint of citrus and a zesty, herbal finish. The wine is a perfect example of classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Since then, the region has seen tremendous growth, with the number of vineyards increasing from just a handful in the 1970s to over 600 today.
