Your King Charles/wine related fun fact for the weekend... 👑

(yep - we found one)

Did you know King Charle's Aston Martin MK ii DB6 Volante runs on wine and cheese? 🤔

As opposed to one of his sons (not naming names) who - well - just whines wherever he travels...

King Charles' fleet of luxury cars includes one very special Aston Martin MK ii DB6 Volante, which has been converted to run on leftover wine and cheese.

✅ Three-quarters of all Sauvignon Blanc is planted in Marlborough (22k+ ha), followed by Hawke's Bay (1k+ ha) and Nelson (0.6k ha).
✅ Sauvignon blanc comprises 72% of New Zealand’s overall wine production — and it’s 86% of what we export to the rest of the world. Total production - 302,000 tonnes.

We get asked a lot about our Viognier - 2023 was the first year we produced a it so naturally people are curious about what it's like...

(and not just, "how do I pronounce it?")

Viognier is typically a medium-full bodied white wine. It's quite rich and similar in weight to Chardonnay, however it is distinctly more aromatic. It's generally advised you enjoy it young, while the acidity and wonderful aromas are still fresh!

Our Anchorage Viognier has delicious white peach aromas that leap from the glass. The palate has concentrated stone fruit and floral flavour's with a wonderful succulent finish. We love it!
