It's not really such a big secret, all the success hinges on selection of grapes, chosen on the basis of varietal fruit characters and vibrant Marlborough regional expression. Parcels from several vineyards are included, each trained to vertical shoot positioning and planted to naturally inhibiting soil structures, achieving harvests of intense, low yield crops. Various winemaking techniques are employed, each contribution is treated and attenuated individually to create a more complex and dynamic wine. These included the use of both selected and natural yeast strains, a mixture of tank and French oak maturation along with a component of partial malolactic ferments.
Light lemon yellow straw green hues. The nose finds buttery, sweaty oak underlined by tropical and citrus fruits. The rich and satisfying elements of melon and mineral are impeccably integrated with smart oak, gooseberries, grapefruit, banana and apple flavours. The finish is lingering and clean, elegant and immensely satisfying.

Secret Stone
With a plan to hero the premium wines and regions of New Zealand there was no question that our initial focus would be sauvignon blanc from New Zealand's premier region, Marlborough...

"Made from the 2004 vintage, this wine has been passionately created to reflect the distinctive Sauvignon Blanc style for which the region has become well regarded throughout the world."

Secret Stone

A wine almost as rare as the precious greenstone that inspired its name. Found in the South Island, greenstone is crafted into beautiful carvings that are passed on from one generation to the next. Like the land itself, they are much treasured and from this much treasured land comes the finest parcels of fruit which have been selected for Secret Stone.

The result is the Secret Stone Sauvignon Blanc, a wine fresh, vibrant and elegant. Distinctively Marlborough.

Once received at the winery the fruit is de-stemmed, pressed and chilled to 10-12C before gentle pressing. The resulting juices are cold settled for 48-72 hours and racked in preparation for fermentation. Following fermentation in stainless steel the wine is chilled to 0C prior to racking and selection for the final blend. The primary objective being to protect the fresh vibrant characters of the expressive fruit.
