Tinpot Hut Marlborough Sauvignon 2007
Winemaker Fiona Turner has worked with Matt Thomson on many of the most successful wines made in Marlborough. The tinpot hut that gave its name to Fiona’s brand is an old mustering hut in the remote hills between the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. These huts were used as a base for musterers, who were responsible for rounding up the sheep that had been in the hills from spring to autumn and bringing them down to the low paddocks for the winter. The wine has lovely depth and intensity and a Sauvignonpungency that is leavened by an attractive mineral character
on both the nose and palate.
