Description
This is the fifth vintage of the Boulder Bank series of wines. Twenty-five year veteran winemaker, Nick Goldschmidt, has created this product to showcase two of New Zealand's preeminent varietals: Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. Having made wine worldwide for many years, Nick has returned to his New Zealand roots to create Boulder Bank. The Kerseley Vineyard, located at Dillon's Point in the celebrated Marlborough region, produces wonderfully fragrant Sauvignon Blanc. Comprised of river rock and sandy loam typical of vineyards near the Opawa River, Kerseley does hold a most unusual distinction: it lies below sea level. The salinity in the soil imparts an attractive minerality to the finished wine. Gentle afternoon breezes and cool night temperatures permit slow and even ripening throughout the vineyard and modest yields are obtained by cane-pruning. Separate shoots maximize cluster exposure. Nick visits Marlborough several times per year to ensure his meticulous viticultural regimen is followed.
