We know how much you all like the Stratum Sauv Blanc, so do we and that’s why we’re so excited about the new 2010 vintage. This year’s harvest at Sherwood was of lower yield resulting in more concentration and aromatics. The growing season was also cooler, resulting in a wine that is more elegant and complex. So basically it’s been a fantastic year in the vineyard and the result is a sauvie of ripe and concentrated tropical fruit flavours while still maintaining that great Marlborough acidity.

It’s still the same bargain price of $21.50 and we’re absolutely sure it’s the best value sauv blanc in Singapore – so please make sure you tell all your M**k*y B*y drinking friends.

Order some today for the weekend and if you can taste it next to the 2009 vintage you’ll be even more impressed…

The Stratum 2010 Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown on Sherwood’s Rowley Crescent, Sandy Creek and Stoney Range vineyards situated at either end of Rapaura Road in heart of Marlborough. The wine displays abundant aromas of gooseberries and capsicum on the nose. The palate is fresh and lively showing rich concentration and a long lingering finish. To be enjoyed over the next two to three years – or tomorrow night like we’re going to.

Still only $21.50 a bottle

Our 10th August wine tasting at Epicurious was a wonderful night out. We selected 8 wines – Whitehaven Pinot Gris 2008, Bushmere Estate Chardonnay 2006, Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2008, Mt Rosa Riesling 2006, Gladstone Rose 2008, Mt Rosa Pinot Noir 2007, Lime Rock Pinot Noir 2006 and Unison Classic Blend 2007 and guests could choose the 6 they wanted to taste. Helena at Epicurious matched Asian Fusion nibbles beautifully with each wine. A great mix of people, so a fun night and a big thank you to all of our friends and customers that came and supported us. We look forward to doing more events soon.

We’ve been trying to get as many people as we possibly can tasting our wines. Some of the events we’ve been involved in recently have included serving our wines at a Fashion Show, a couple of Art Gallery Exhibition openings, an Open House and numerous tasting parties in workplaces and homes. Not to mention all the other parties and restaurants/ bars that are now serving our wines. And as suspected, once someone’s tried them they can’t resist drinking more.
