About
Viticulture: The Glover family vineyards, planted in 1985 alongside the meandering Opawa River, have inspired the family’s passion for wine. The vineyard is now very much an aromatic specialist with Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Riesling. The viticultural and winemaking philosophy embraces the structural strengths of the vineyard. The wines show classic cool climate precision matched with palate depth and the ability to support texture. Winemaker Ben Glover says "I have always wanted to express the exquisite refined bouquet, the precise structure and the 'line' of these aromatic wines from our farm. Zephyr allows me to do this - winegrowing is a natural expression and extension of what our family and I have done on this property for years and the opportunity to pay them back with home grown, world class wines is too good to be true," says Ben. Ben is now working towards all the wines having organic certification starting with the 2020 vintage for some of the wines.
Winemaking: From Marlborough's oldest organic vineyard with over 30yr old vines. The grapes were machine picked with the neighbouring winery then gently pressed off to avoid any colour mix-up. Cold settled for a few days before racking off and warmed for a yeast inoculation using a neutral yeast. Fermented cooly to maintain bright aromas, for approx. 20 days. The wine was then cold settled again before racking off gross yeast lees, no finings and sterile filtered prior to bottling.
