MEXICAN ESSENCE IN LIQUID

The Tequila Story

Tequila’s story is deeply rooted in the fiery soil of Mexico, where ancient communities lovingly fermented agave into pulque. With the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 16th century, this humble brew underwent a remarkable transformation, blossoming into the beloved tequila we know today. Tequila found its true home in the heart of Jalisco, where Cuervo’s pioneering spirit established the first distillery in the 18th century. Despite enduring trials like the Mexican Revolution and US Prohibition, tequila persevered, capturing the hearts of people worldwide. Today, it stands as a testament to Mexico’s rich culture and the craftsmanship of those who nurture it, offering a diverse array of styles meticulously crafted to preserve its soul.

MOST ELEGANT Sauvignon Blanc

The Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc is grown on a variety of soil types in Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere valleys. Gravels provide tropical flavours, clay loams produce citrus notes and deep silty soils lift the aromatic quality of this wine while contributing weight and texture to the palate.
After harvest at optimum ripeness, grapes were destemmed and gently pressed, then fermented cool in stainless steel tanks to retain their natural fruit exuberance. The range of vineyards available to us allows us to build a wine showcasing the full range of flavours Marlborough has to offer and a palate with weight, depth and length.
Tropical passionfruit, melon and white peach aromas with tones of fresh lemon thyme. Bright and juicy on the palate with a long flavoursome finish.
