Barker's Marque Description
Winemaker: Simon Barker
Appellation: Marlborough
Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc
Viticulture: Grapes are sourced from the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Dry and windy vineyard sites allow for optimal fruit set and minimal disease. A large diurnal temperature difference in the fall provides the opportunity for grapes to reach peak maturity before harvest in late March and early April. Certified Sustainable New Zealand farming practices.
Farming: Certified Sustainable
Vineyard: Waverley Vineyard is nestled between the bluffs of Blind River half a mile from the sea in the cooler Awatere Valley. There are recognized differences between the wines of the Awatere and Wairau valleys. Awatere wines are fresher and mineral while Wairau wines are more tropical and rounder. Blind River’s most recognizable element is a flinty, smoky minerality. Waverley was planted, mostly, in 2004.
