Walnut Block is the vision of two brothers, and the name comes from the impressive 100 + year old walnut tree (the oldest in Marlborough) which stands in the middle of their Sauvignon Blanc vines.

Harvested by hand and whole bunched press, this limited release Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of their vineyards fruits. Winemaking is carried out using natural ferments to capture the grapes’ lively, fresh aromas and fruit purity.

Wine of the Week, The Independent, ‘Delivers a wholly different take from the normal grassy gooseberry flavours?due to the presence of indigenous natural yeasts. It?s a real mouth filler, with rich, weighty flavours of tropical fruits and green herbs; it?s basically crying out for rich fish dishes or roast pork and herby chicken.’ Terry Kirby, September 2018 (2017 vintage)

94 Points – Bob Campbell MW, ‘Full-flavoured organically-grown Sauvignon Blanc that was hand-harvested and fermented using indigenous yeasts. An appealing and quite gutsy style with capsicum, gooseberry, ginger and tropical fruit flavours. Drink 2018 to 2021‘ June 2018 (2017 vintage)
