Tinpot Hut, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand ‘07
Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc
Each: £9.95
INTRODUCTORY OFFER - A dozen for £107 (£8.92 each)
Speaking as the inhabitants of the Monkey Shed we could hardly do anything but like a wine called Tinpot Hut. Indeed just as our name links our past and present (we live in Chico’s old digs) so too does Tinpot Hut link the sheep (well it had to be really) rearing history of Marlborough to its present guise as a winemaking mecca. Lyrical enough?
The Hut is a solo venture of Fiona Turner erstwhile co-conspirator, in many a caper, of the ubiquitous Matt Thomson. The grapes come from her own property in Blind River and other specially selected sites, from contacts carefully ferreted away over the years for just such a solo venture.
The wine has lovely depth and intensity and a Sauvignon pungency that is leavened by a lovely minerality on both the nose and palate.
