Proudly family owned, the Borthwick vineyard is an established vineyard situated in Gladstone, the heart of the Wairarapa. Producing quality wine for over a decade, Paddy, an experienced wine maker, has gained a reputation for producing consistently great wines. The twenty seven hectares of vines bordering the Ruamahunga River are growing on stony, free draining, alluvial soils, with a micro climate giving warm daily temperatures, cool nights and low rainfall; perfect conditions for producing distinctive, quality wines.

The 2023 growing season has produced a wine with great aromas and intense fruit concentration. The nose opens up with a fragrant splash of lychee and passionfruit notes tempered by hints of sautéed herbs. Bright and zippy on the palate and packed with flavour, showing a core of ripe nectarine and lemon-lime acidity. The wine finishes with lingering notes of tropical fruits and zest.

A great wine to pair with seafood, spring salads, goat cheese or grilled fish.

Beautifully fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows golden kiwifruit, rockmelon, lime zest and sweet basil aromas, followed by a succulent palate displaying excellent vibrancy and intensity. Immediately appealing and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2027.

A lovely expression of SB with a bouquet of white fleshed fruits and citrus, some layers of red apple flesh and wet stone mineral. As the wine opens out in glass the natural herbaceous signatures begin to show with fresh angelica and basil. A youthful, taut and crisp textured wine touches the palate first, then flavours of citrus, fresh herbs and white fleshed fruits return. A moment of tropical fruit also shows. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2023 through 2027+.
