Auntsfield continues the proud heritage of Marlborough?s first vineyard and winery established in 1873. Their Single Vineyard wines are made from grapes grown at Auntsfield Estate.
Each wine shows the distinctive characteristics of ripeness, texture and minerality - qualities unique to the ancient Greywacke rock and Loess clay soils of the vineyard. 

This wine is only made when a selection of traditionally made wine from our steepest hill side exhibits the intensity, complexity, balance and sense of place required to honour the heritage of Auntsfield Estate: Marlborough?s first vineyard and winery.

This wine is made with a sense of place. The steep clay hillsides at Auntsfield give us fruit with great density, complexity and tannin structure. Winemaking is carried out with a desire to reveal these characters in the wine. The fruit is hand harvested and gravity fed into an open top oak vessel with a proportion of fruit being whole bunch fermented. This was hand plunged once fermentation begins. The wine was kept on skins for an extended period following fermentation before being aged in oak for 14 months.

Savoury and complex aromas of exotic spices, dark berry fruits and floral notes. Hints of cocoa and roasted almonds.
The palate is immensely dense and concentrated and shows an elegant complexity. Luscious dark fruit flavours integrating gamey spice. The wine has an intense depth and yet silky fine tannin structure, giving seamless length and many years of aging potential.
