Escarpment Pinot Blanc 2016 New Zealand Martinborough
Escarpment Pinot Blanc 2016 New Zealand MartinboroughEscarpment Vineyard is excited to be able to release the seventh
Single Vineyard Pinot Blanc from its Te Muna Road Vineyard. We
believe our site ideally suits Pinot Noir so a classic Pinot Blanc
should result.
A barrel fermented dry style (2.5gms/l sugar) was aged for 11
months prior to bottling. It will certainly create some interesting
wine/food pairings. Enjoy while young but this wine will age
gracefully for at least 5 years.

Winemaking details
This wine comes from a small hillside parcel on the southeast boundary of the township of Blenheim. The vineyard is run by Perry and Stephanie Gilbert, who also live on the property, ensuring
great attention to detail.The north-facing aspect means that the grapes receive as much sunshine hours as possible helping them to ripen well and are often some of the earlier grapes of our vintage.
The soil structure has a higher percentage of clay, which we have found gives extra weight and interest to the palate, adding texture and suppleness to the wine. The grapes were hand-picked, wholecluster pressed and taken straight to French barriques without any chemical additions. It was fermented with indigenous yeast in the barrels, helping to add complexity and texture, without
dominating the nose. The wine was left on yeast lees for eleven months, which were stirred regularly. This meant that the yeast added both savoury notes and also served to work as a natural fining agent. After time in barrique it was gently racked then bottled without fining.

Millton Libiamo Field Blend 2019
Millton Libiamo Field Blend 2019Millton Libiamo Field Blend 2019
Inspired by time, our intuition, the influence of younger generations, especially our children Monique and Sam, yet respecting the antiquity of famous operas, joy, happiness, song and most of all the pleasure of drinking. We call this wine Libiamo; “let’s drink”.
A combination of , Gewurztraminer, Marsanne and Muscat all grown in our own vineyards. Picked by hand, fermented and aged on skins the wine was then pressed and rested in older demi-muid French oak barrels. This cloudy wine offers another perfect example of a true expression of our work and the fruits of our labours.
This wine is rich and sensual with an adoring complexity of bosc pears and walnuts together with pretty white flowers and juniper berries stimulate the aromas. The taste is dry with a subtle pucker of textured tannins. With food one would suggest Indian dishes or duck breast poached in Moroccan spices. It is cloudy from natural sediments and complex in structure, with a gentle phenolic tension and underlying salinity. This wine will benefit from a short time in a decanter allowing its true nature to show before consumption ensues, so take your time, savour and drink in moderation. With love and gratitude
