| Tasting Notes |
This pure, single-vineyard Marlborough wine, produced entirely from the original 20 acre block planted in 1998, is an excellent example of what makes Awatere Sauvignon Blanc so special. Low yielding vines have resulted in an intense but delicate bouquet with crisp mineral flavours on the palate. With undertones of gooseberry and passion fruit which are finely balanced with herbal flavours, this wine is full and fruity yet also dry with a long finish, giving Boreham Wood its unique character.

| Viticulture Notes |
The 2007 growing season was slowed down early with severe frosts in November and was followed by one of the coldest Decembers on record for Marlborough. As a result the subsequent crop was reduced by almost half.
However, the remainder of the season was much kinder. The summer and autumn months were warm and dry, disease pressure was low and the fruit was able to stay on the vines long enough to attain maximum flavours. These conditions were perfect for producing this high quality wine.
