Description
Baron Benjamin de Rothschild had the real desire to create his own Sauvignon Blanc. He purchased around 24 hectares of vineyard, ideally situated on the prestigious Rapaura Road, in the heart of the Marlborough region of New Zealand. This area’s cool climate is perfect for ripening high quality Sauvignon Blanc grapes and providing them with their typical lemon and grapefruit flavours, together with crisp acidity. “101”, is the name of the plot selected for this rare expression and the alternative wine style of Rimapere. The vineyard meaning “Five arrows” in Māori and simultaneously honours the Rothschild’s family coat of arms (five arrows symbolising the five sons of dynasty founder Mayer Amschel Rothschild) and traditional New Zealand culture.
Bright green gold colour with a depth of viscosity. The essence of this wine the harmony between the various layers of aromatic Sauvignon and the complexity of the winemaking process to add finesse and structure to classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. With subtle citrus and a touch of varietal zest, the wine has layers of lemon curd and subtle vanillin from the new and mature French oak barrels.
