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.
