Not Quite Alone at the Top
For winemaker Fiona Turner and her husband Hamish, 17 years of pioneering work in Marlborough’s coastal subzone of Blind River are paying off handsomely. Hamish manages their Home Block vineyard, planted in 2005, and today the vines are in their prime, churning out head-turning quality, year after year.
We’ve offered every vintage of Tinpot Hut since 2017, and these wines do more than just sell well. They consistently rack up outstanding ratings, with the last vintage coming in at 4.2 stars—the best ever for the wine, and head and shoulders above the average for this price point.
In most cases, poor fruit-set can augur a disappointing vintage. Not in 2023 Marlborough though, especially for SauvignonBlanc, whose normally tight bunches can increase disease vulnerability. The looser bunches of 2023, a La Niña year, were a bit of a blessing. Cool nights held off botrytis, while phenomenal weather through harvest put a bow on what ended up being a very high-quality season for Sauv Blanc.
In short, the 2023 vintage is another great success for this standard-bearing New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, so lock it in with abandon. There’s no way to have too much.
