This Month June 2010
Autumn
We've been busy at the winery with end of ferment tastings and weekly lees stirring. Heather and Meric have started pruning the vines ready for next year's growth.
Awards and Reviews
We're proud of our wines, but it's great when others think so too. These are some of the recent awards and reviews Summerhouse wine has received.
Extensive Wine Review by Senior Wine Judge, Sam Kim
Summerhouse Chardonnay 2008 Marlborough 89 4.5 Stars
It's ripe and gently fragrant on the nose displaying white peach, floral and subtle creamy oak characters. The medium-full palate is beautifully textured and lingering with nicely balanced acidity. An elegant expression of Chardonnay with a crisp dry finish. At its best: now to 2012.
Summerhouse Sauvignon Blanc 2009 Marlborough 91 4.5 Stars
Ripe and fragrant, this classic Sauvignon shows ripe passionfruit, lime zest and a hint of stonefruit characters. The palate is juicy and full-flavoured showing excellent acidity and a lively long finish. At its best: now to 2012.
Summerhouse Blanc de Blancs NV Marlborough 89 4.5 Stars
The bouquet is elegant and fine displaying acacia, yeast and chalky mineral notes. It's beautifully textured on the palate with a creamy, rounded mouthfeel and nicely pitched acidity. A delicate and subtle style with lovely balance and a crisp dry finish.
Summerhouse Pinot Noir 2008 Marlborough 93 5 Stars
A stunning nose displaying dark cherry, spice and a hint of savoury notes. The palate is ripe and beautifully textured showing excellent mid palate weight and well integrated fine tannins. An impressive wine showing beautiful balance and poise as well as immense appeal. At its best: now to 2013.
