This 2008 Staete Landt sauvignon blanc is an aromatically intense wine, perfumed with exotic fruit such as pawpaw, passionfruit and nectarines. On the palate the wine is full bodied, well balanced with great complexity and silken texture. This rich and voluptuous wine has attractive mineral characters and European style elegance.

Staete Landt Chardonnay is one of the best kept secrets of the Estate: full and round yet stylish, great texture and length, this wine shows the perfect balance between fruit, acidity and elegant oak integration.
A whiff of sea breeze and summer stone fruit on the nose, white peaches & cream, hazelnuts on the palate with a mineral aftertaste that lingers on. A truly great wine with a strong personality and a European elegance, showing the unique cool climate Marlborough vibrance.

The 2008 Pinot Noir is a beautiful round and well textured wine with a fragrance of ripe cherries, wild violets and ‘forrest floor on an early autumn day’. In the mouth the wine is weighty with black tea tannins, shows great length and beautiful balance between sweet ripe berrie fruit and more savoury characters such as ‘leather saddles’ and barnyard characteristics which will develop over time in the bottle.
A very attractive wine, lots of ‘pinosity’ and a fabulous companion with food.
