About Mahi Wines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brian had been making wine in different parts of the world for about 15 years before deciding to return to New Zealand and settle in Marlborough. Arriving in 1996 he could see that vineyards in the different valleys of Marlborough produced remarkably unique profiles. At the time, most of Marlborough\u2019s wines were made as regional blends with many individual site characteristics being lost. In other areas of the world distinctive sites were being celebrated and so an idea was hatched to create a label that promoted different vineyard sites across Marlborough to show the region had true depth and complexity.<\/p>\n

This idea of a new label had been formed for some time but it was when Brian\u2019s father developed terminal cancer the realization of his own mortality proved to be the impetus that was needed to finally start making the wines of Mahi.<\/p>\n

The very first harvest was from a vineyard located in the Conder\u2019s Bend part of Marlborough. An area Brian was familiar with. Initial quantities were tiny from this small 1.5 hectare parcel of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from the Byrne vineyard. Mahi now manages the vineyard organically and are thrilled to still be working with the site that started it all.<\/p>\n

Brian\u2019s winemaking style for Mahi is to allow the vineyards to speak through the wines, with the wines being made in a very \u2018hands-off\u2019 manner.<\/p>\n

Work was immediately started to upgrade the winery so that it suited the styles that Mahi was making and the first vintage of Mahi in its new home was 2007. Work continues and the caves into the hillside have been changed so they are suitable for barrel storage, with the tanks been refrigerated to suit Sauvignon Blanc fermentations.<\/p>\n

With the purchase of the winery a lease of an excellent vineyard was taken up and another very good grower was also added. The greater numbers of vineyards meant that the focus was broadened as the winery could not efficiently sell and distribute six single-vineyard Sauvignons and with the 2007 vintage the first \u2018Marlborough\u2019 Sauvignon was produced.<\/p>\n

Looking forward the focus will remain on exhibiting the quality and diversity of the wines from the Marlborough region. We will continue to seek out the vineyards for the various varieties and remain at a size that allows us to remain intimately connected with the vineyards and wines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The aim for this Chardonnay is to retain a fresh structure with a complex palate. It is the vineyards, wild-ferment and barrel characters that make up the complex nose and palate.<\/p>\n

This fruit comes from three vineyards; the Taylor Vineyard which is in the Rapaura area, the Twin Valleys vineyard, which we have been working with since 2003 and a ten rows of Clone 1066 from the Mahi home block.<\/p>\n

All of the vines were intensively hand-tended and the grapes hand-picked and then taken to the winery for whole-cluster pressing. The resulting juice went straight to French oak barrels and fermented with indigenous yeast from the fruit. After fermentation the wine sat on yeast lees for eleven months prior to blending and bottling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4395,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[18],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3565","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-chardonnay","7":"yith_shop_vendor-redwhitecellar","8":"berocket_brand-12-bottles","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\nMahi Chardonnay 2022 (12 Bottles) Marlborough - Cellars NZ<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Buy wine online.
