Enkeltmark ifølge producenten: Burn Cottage Vineyard – Block 8. Producentens tekst (engelsk): The Real Review NZ Red Wine of The Year 2026 The 2022 season brought an ideal balance of warmth, cool nights, and steady ripening — conditions that revealed something distinctive in two small parcels from one of the blocks in our Lowburn vineyard, where the vines draw their character from a seam of clay running through the base of the Burn Cottage vineyard. The fruit from these parcels showed such unique character, clarity and depth that it deserved to stand alone. Bottled separately, Sabine’s Selection captures a singular expression of site and season.

Low rainfall and mild temperatures provided a long, even ripening period, followed by an excellent window of settled weather for harvest. WINEMAKER TASTING NOTES: Sabine’s Selection 2022 reflects a unique pocket of our Lowburn Vineyard, where a seam of clay lies at the base of one of our steepest slopes. Over the years, we have seen consistently distinctive fruit from this block, and in 2022 we chose to showcase it in a dedicated small-lot bottling. The wine shows subtle ruby and violet hues, with lifted aromas of red cherry, plum, raspberry, pomegranate, and mixed spice. A savoury thread and earthy undertones bring further complexity, while the silky texture carries depth, finesse, and persistence. It offers excellent cellaring potential of a decade or more. www.
