Tasting Notes

The aroma is of plum, peach and strawberry fruit notes. Refreshing and bright the balance is soft and refined.

Vinification Details.

Pinot Noir grapes were hand picked, with a portion being pressed and the remainder drained off skins immediately after harvest. The wine was bottled following fermentation and 4 months ageing on lees.

Producer Information

Named after the satellite listening post located over the road from the winery, Spy Valley is in the Waihopai Valley in Marlborough. Happily for us they appear more interested in fine wine than exploding cigars, and recent vintages have seen the winery's trophy cabinet filled to bursting. Like most Marlborough wineries, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc are Spy Valley specialties but winemaker Ant Mackenzie and his team also make a great range of aromatic whites including Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. Their quality was recognised in March 2007 when the winery became the first ever producer to win four trophies in the same year at the Sydney Wine Show.

Regional info.

Spy Valley Wines is situated on the sunny southern side of Marlborough's Wairau Valley. Bryan and Jan Johnson established the first of their 380 acres of estate vineyards in 1993, and were pioneers in what was then a Marlborough sub-region. From vintage 2000, wine was produced and sold under the Spy Valley label. The unusual name is derived from the presence of a huge satellite communications monitoring station nearby; hence the nickname Spy Valley!
