Leefield Station Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand
Marisco Vineyards owner Brent Marris has bought the historic Leefield Station estate in Marlborough to feed growing international demand for the company's wines.
‘This property is a prime viticultural site because of its position within a glacial valley filled with mineral-rich soil and beautiful rolling foothills,’ said Marris.
‘We intend to plant our vineyards next season, but will also retain the traditions of high-value sheep and beef production on the property.’
Marris added that the company was ‘deeply committed to celebrating the historical, social and cultural significance of Leefield Station’.
Lovely fresh green tomato leaf characteristics, grapefruit and ripe citrus fruit on the palate.
