While wines from Marlborough, in New Zealand’s South Island, have only come into prominence recently, there is actually a wine-making history in that region that dates back to the 1870s. Meadowbank Farm Manager David Herd planted Muscatel in a parcel of land in the Fairhall/Brancott area that became very well regarded. Though he died in 1905, his vineyard continued to produce until the 1930s. A few other small wineries also began to crop up during the late 1800s into the early part of the 20th century.
But it wasn't until 1973, when Frank Yukich of Auckland’s Montana Wines selected Marlborough for its expansion efforts. He saw the potential of this region, with sunny days and cool nights that ensure a long growing season and well balanced grapes. The success of his endeavors prompted other wineries to follow, many of them international enterprises. One of the most notable of these is Australia’s Cape Mentelle, who established the widely successful Cloudy Bay Read more »

Oyster Bay Merlot Marlborough 2011
Snoothrank:
Nothing too special with this New Zealand merlot. A bit of that barn floor nose, musty on the mid palate with medium body, dark cherry and medium fine tannin. Not a lot of fresh fruit, somewhat on the bland side. Read More

Villa Maria Private Bin Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot 2010
Snoothrank:
Flavors of red fruit, chocolate, light smoke from oak blend together in this molt from New Zealand. Tanninss seem stronger and firmer than U.S. Merlots. Read More

Nautilus Gruner Veltliner Marlborough Nz 2011
Snoothrank:
Rather subtle with lime zest aromas and gentle green pea, cactus leaf and green peppercorn aromas. A touch soft in the mouth, and relatively light bodied though there is some attractive depth to the citrus pith flavors that are colored with green herb and peppercorn shadings. The finish shows more of a lemon/pineapple aspect to the fruit as well... Read More

Villa Maria Riesling Private Bin 2008
Snoothrank:
I tasted this wine in early 2013 and the wine is past its prime. Lemon and lime nose and good acid balance are seen. This is a dry wine and the fruit is mostly gone. My rating-- 76. Read More

Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Snoothrank:
Has the aroma of tropical fruit and gooseberry. The taste is refreshing, with a slight sourness from citrus fruits of grapefruit, lime and lemon . Lemongrass is also present in the taste and has balanced acidity. This wine would be good with white fish or salads. Was very enjoyable after working outside in the sun. Read More
