Terrace Heights Estate

Situated in the famed Marlborough region, Terrace Heights Estate planted its 75 acres with New Zealand’s flagship varieties of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. Crafted with techniques to capture the essence of the vineyard and coax the flavours and aromatics from the fruit. An exciting winery with a dynamic young team of passionate people.

Down-to-earth and typically “kiwi”, Steve Hammond, owner of Terrace Heights Estate vineyard, believes the key to his wine’s success lies in the ‘hands on ‘approach from the vine to the wine to ensure only the highest quality wines are produced. This philosophy has certainly been a successful one for him, his wine having received a swag of awards and a widespread following both at home and internationally.

	Terrace Height Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Bright clarity, with light straw hue. The wine has the region's characteristic gooseberry and grapefruit aromas with red apple and freshly cut nectarine undertones. Fresh, natural acidity gives the wine a freshness that supports the clean, focused flavours and great length. It is finely balanced and can be drunk without further cellaring.
	Terrace Heights Estate Pinot Gris 2010 Deep straw with star-bright clarity. Delicate aromas of fig and quince paste with ripe pear fruit flavours. A ripe fruited and full-bodied wine with a soft, luscious texture. The primary fruit flavours are accompanied by hints of spice and cream, that persist on the lengthy, dry finish. Quiches, poultry, creamy pasta and seafood dishes.  Serve slightly chilled.
	Terrace Heights Estate Viognier 2010 Light to mid straw and bright clarity. Lifted aromatics of white flower and jasmine blossom, combined with apricot and orange fruit flavours. A medium-bodied wine with a rich, concentrated palate. Vibrate varietal aromatics fill the palate and persist on the clean, fresh acid finish. Full flavoured white meat dishes, rich, creamy pastas or with hard cheeses.  Serve slightly chilled.
	Terrace Height Estate Pinot Noir 2008 Deep purple with a violet hue. Succulent black cherry and raspberry aromas integrated with spicy oak. A full bodied wine with a soft, silky texture that supports the opulent dark fruit and savory oak flavors. Ideally matched with rich game and venison dishes, or a lamb casserole.
	Terrace Springs Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Pale straw with a bright clarity. The bouquet is a rich mix of ripe peach and red apple fruits, interspersed with the classic varietal gooseberry and white currants. With a soft texture and supple, rich mouthfeel, this wine is made to be drunk early and show youthful charm. Appealing ripe stone fruit and classic gooseberry and currant flavours coat the palate and persitit on the lengthy acid finish.
