Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Vibrant aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit lead to a refreshing palate full of white peach and grapefruit – classic flavors of the region. The bright aromas are accented with chalky, mineral tones then a deliciously satisfying finish. When you’re ready to head out, grab a bottle to take you where you dare.

Enjoy with seafood, especially Pacific oysters on the half-shell. Or sip a glass before your meal, with or without hors d’oeuvres. Ponga is perfect for any meal served at a picnic table.

    Lime zest and thyme mirror on nose and palate. This wine has pizazz-plus with flavors of crisp pear, jicama, and just-picked corn.

For the casual wine drinker who seeks adventure, excitement, and knowledge through wine, Ponga is a bold, expressive New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that shines through in category of traditional brand concepts, acting as a beacon for adventure, much like glowing underside of the Ponga fern used by natives to guide their path through this country’s mystical wilderness. Unlike other New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc brands that are either traditional estates or generic brand concepts, Ponga offers a unique path to discovery of New Zealand’s wild side.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

An icon and leading region of New Zealand's distinctive style of Sauvignon blanc, Marlborough has a unique terroir, making it ideal for high quality grape production (of many varieties). Despite some common generalizations, which could be fairly justified given that Marlborough is responsible for 90% of New Zealand's Sauvignon blanc production, the wines from this region are actually anything but homogenous. At the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, the vineyards of Marlborough benefit from well-draining, stony soils, a dry, sunny climate and wide temperature fluctuations between day and night, a phenomenon that supports a perfect balance between berry ripeness and acidity.

The region’s king variety, Sauvignon blanc, is beloved for its pungent, aromatic character with notes of exotic tropical fruit, freshly cut grass and green bell pepper along with a refreshing streak of stony minerality. These wines are made in a wide range of styles, and winemakers take advantage of various clones, vineyard sites, fermentation styles, lees-stirring and aging regimens to differentiate their bottlings, one from one another.

Also produced successfully here are fruit-forward Pinot noirs (especially where soils are clay-rich), elegant Riesling, Pinot gris and Gewürztraminer.
