Zephyr Wines

2020 Chardonnay, Zephyr Wines

Marlborough, New ZealandVintage: 2020

The Glover family were one of the first to plant grapes on their farm in Marlborough’s Dillon’s Point sub-region in 1988. Nineteen years later, led by eldest son Ben, the family launched Zephyr, a range of single vineyard wines from the farm. The name Zephyr means ‘a gentle breeze’. Inspired by the prevailing wind that moderates their vineyards.

This organic single vineyard Chardonnay stands out from the Marlborough crowd for its perfect use of oak barrels and subtle toasty note on the nose. Flinty, complex and with plenty of personality, this is a taut New Zealand chardonnay with citrus, spice and a mealy savoury character.  In short it perfectly expresses the ethereal, aromatic and structural flair of the Dillons Point Sub-Region in Marlborough.

Description

Ben Glover launched his Zephyr Wine brand into the UK in 2007. Zephyr wines are sourced from the 35 hectare, fourth-generation family farm situated in the sought-after Dillon’s Point region of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. The name Zephyr, meaning ‘a gentle breeze’, is inspired by the prevailing wind that moderates the coastal family vineyard, and the Marlborough region.
Planted in 1985 alongside Marlborough’s Opaoa River, rows of Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc thrive in fertile loam soils that provide Zephyr wines with lively single vineyard expression, elegant aromatics, poised depth of flavour, and excellent structural longevity.

10 years after launching Zephyr, Ben and his wife Susie have transitioned 21 hectares of the family vineyard to organic farming practices. By carrying the bio-bro certified organic logo they are continuing Zephyr’s journey to express the true flavours of the family farm, while emphasising on wine growing through soil health, biodiversity, regenerative farming, and, ultimately, mindful consumption. Never still, always on the go, always innovating and planning their next move on the farm, and always with family.
