Tinpot Hut Gruner Veltliner

Add Your Review

This is the debut release from Tinpot Hut. First crop Grüner Veltliner, a variety many think is ideally suited to Marlborough. Lovely aromatic nose with stone fruits and citrus zest, hints of tropical fruit too. Crisp and tangy with real palate weight for such young vines. Peach, mango, nectarine and lime. A long finish with balancing acidity. It's got bags of flavour, really impressive!

The Tinpot Hut wines are made primarily from fruit grown on winemaker Fiona Turner's vineyard in Blind River. Fiona, who has worked with Matt Thomson for a number of years, supplements her own grapes with fruit from other growers in Marlborough and Hawkes Bay. The tinpot hut that gave its name to Fiona's brand is an old mustering hut in the remote hills between the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. These huts were used as a base for musterers as they rounded up the sheep that had been in the hills from spring to autumn. The name links Marlborough's past as a sheep farming centre with its current state as one of the world's most dynamic wine regions.
