Region: New Zealand, Marlborough

Background: Leefield Station is located in the Waihopai Valley of Marlborough, and is one of the oldest farming stations in Marlborough, dating back to the 1840s. In 2013 Brent Marris of Marisco Vineyards purchased the 2,300 ha property with sights set for not only its pastoral farming potential but also to convert a large portion of the land to vineyard.

Tasting notes: Succulent ripe berry fruits with a hint of cream. A rich strawberry essence translates through to the palate, supported by a zesty and refreshing acid backbone that marries well with elegant Pinot Noir tannins. This wine has a pleasingly dry finish that reflects the climate and growing conditions of the Waihopai Valley.

The Global Rose Masters 2023 - Silver: Leefield Station Rose 2022 - "Clean and zesty, driven by plenty of citrus fruit aromas, but also flowers and stone fruit. Ripe fruit emerges on the palate, showing blood orange and juicy peach, and verging on fresh apricot."
