Proudly family owned, the Borthwick vineyard is an established vineyard situated in Gladstone, the heart of the Wairarapa. Producing quality wine for over a decade, Paddy, an experienced wine maker, has gained a reputation for producing consistently great wines. The twenty seven hectares of vines bordering the Ruamahunga River are growing on stony, free draining, alluvial soils, with a micro climate giving warm daily temperatures, cool nights and low rainfall; perfect conditions for producing distinctive, quality wines.
The outstanding 2025 growing season produced a Sauvignon of exceptional concentration and balance. Fragrant aromas of spiced stone fruit, tropical fruit, and subtle dark herbal notes lead into a richly flavoured palate centred on ripe nectarine and bright lemon-lime acidity. Fresh and vibrant, it finishes with impressive length and persistence.
Vibrant, crisp, fruity, tropical, high energy, dry, crunchy, great fruit concentration and length. Red and yellow apple, gooseberry and pineapple, some hay and fresh basil. Crunchy, fresh and delicious. A wine that is ready to drink from day of purchase, have many food friendly attributes and can be cellared for at least 1 year if required.
