Our new wine list is hitting the mean streets of the UK and this means that plenty of new wines are arriving in Ottery all the time. We therefore thought it a good idea to crack open forty or so of the new wines the other day for the staff to get their tongues around. The most recent vintage of Tindall's Sauvignon Blanc had summer written all over it. Even when it was still pouring with rain outside!
Sauvignon Blanc, 2007 Marlborough - Tindall Estate £10.28 per bottle or £5.82 per half
An exceptionally good Kiwi Sauv Blanc from a low yielding vintage.
Textbook Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with strong red capsicum character, fresh 'zingy' acidity and crispness.
Tindall Vineyards are situated in Hammerichs Road, Rapaura, in the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand wine region. The vineyards are owned by Terry & Lynley Sowman and managed by sons Clyde and Nigel Sowman. The name Tindall Vineyard honours grandfather Henry Tindall.
The estate was purchased in 1993 and was originally an extensive cherry orchard and cropping land. Nowadays 2 hectares remain in intensively grown cherries for the premium fresh market.
