SPOKE 'Brink'
Winemaking
When we heard that Marlborough's oldest organic vineyard was about to be grubbed up, we stepped in. In total, two tonnes of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon were handpicked, whole bunch pressed and co-fermented together — two hectares of historic Marlborough vines, brought back from the 'brink'. The fruit underwent partial skin contact before being run off into old French barriques and one new French puncheon for finishing.
“We brought this vineyard back from the 'brink'. Marlborough's oldest organic vineyard was hanging on. We rescued it, listened to its voice and with some adventurous winemaking, amplified it. From arguably the region's most unique vineyard, this wine has a true sense of place.”
