The Story
The fruit for this wine was harvested from the best blocks from each of te Pa's two main Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. These blocks were selected for their great fruit expression as well as low cropping, and early ripening characteristics. 50% of this wine was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed. The blocks were fermented separately, mostly in stainless steel tanks, before blending and then aging on light lees. A small percentage of new oak was used in the blend.
About te Pa
Brand Story
te Pā winery is located on the Wairau Bar in Marlborough, New Zealand's earliest known settlement. Before the MacDonald family started te Pā in 2003, their family history was already deeply rooted in the Wairau Bar for over 800 years. The location is the ideal place to grow Sauvignon Blanc, nestled between the river to the south, and Cloudy Bay on the eastern boundary. These two bodies of water mediate the temperature and encourage air flow throughout the vineyards. The effect is more even ripening of the grapes, a lower diurnal shift, and decreased disease in the vineyards.
Sauvignon Blanc vines were first planted in 2003 with the inaugural release in 2011. Now with over 400 ha under vine, the family has expanded their vineyards to Awatere Valley near Seddon, which is than Wairau Bar.
