About

Mission’s Cable Station vineyard that produces Glazebrook is located in the lower
Awatere Valley of Marlborough and possesses a special aspect with
gentle slopes. Fruit was allowed to ripen to achieve optimum flavour development and profile.

Terroir

Our estate vineyard possesses a special aspect with gentle slopes. Soils
comprise of sandy loams with a portion of clay particles which overlay
a gravely subsoil, within sight of the Pacific Ocean. Free-draining, alluvial soils with some areas of gravel sandy loams

Vinification

The fruit was crushed with minimal skin contact and the
free-run juice and light pressings were separated for a cool
fermentation in stainless steel tank. The juice was inoculated
with yeast strains specifically developed for optimum aromatic
and varietal character development. Post fermentation, the
batches were selected to create the final blend.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, freshly squeezed lemon and grapefruit, crunchy green apple, peach, passionfruit and fresh herbs. On the palate, crisp and zesty with moments of citrus, fresh garden herbs and tropical notes; refreshing and mouth-watering.

Food Pairing

Perfect food pairings would be simple crostinis with your favourite topping or sustainably sourced oysters for a special occasion.

Appellation

Marlborough

Vineyard

This wine was produced from two vineyard sites (one in Brancott to the south and one on Raupara Road to the north of the Wairau Valley) with each contributing to the spectrum of flavors in the blend. The 7-year-old vines were cane pruned and VSP trellised.

Aromas of freshly cut grass, dragon fruit and peaches. Medium-bodied with more savory character than the nose let on. There is a hint of tang to the acidity, which articulates the stone and tropical fruit notes. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.
