Situated in the idyllic countryside north of Martinborough, Gladstone Vineyard was the first of a cluster of boutique wineries to establish themselves in the old, mineral rich, river bed that was the Ruamahanga River.

From a 40-year-old Sauvignon Blanc planting, the oldest in the region this wine shows a deeply aromatic nose of honey suckle, lime and jasmine. On the palate it is silky with a phenolic grip that helps balance the acidity which is long but subtle. Notes of goose berry and white peach. This is a wine to drink now or to cellar
