Cooling afternoon easterly sea breezes moderate summer temperatures, enhancing aromatic development and natural acidity. Soils consist of rich loamy topsoil (500–750mm) over wind-blown clay loess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Lower Wairau vineyards, deep fertile silt loam soils, formed over thousands of years near the coast, contribute to ripe tropical flavour expression.

These conditions resulted in low yields, similar to the 2020–2021 growing season, producing grapes with excellent flavour concentration and balanced acidity at harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore More Wines\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove this wine?

The finish is elegant, fresh, and lingering, with bright acidity and mineral tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tinpot Hut story began in 2003\u003c\/strong\u003e when winemaker Fiona Turner and her husband Hamish established their own 20-hectare vineyard in Marlborough’s emerging sub-region of Blind River. Fiona named the project after a historic Marlborough mustering hut, the ‘Tinpot Hut,’ linking the area’s sheep farming past with its current state as one of the world’s most dynamic wine regions. Fruit for the Tinpot Hut wines is sourced from Fiona’s ‘Home Block,’ supplemented by grapes from carefully selected vineyards. Fiona is assisted by Matt Thomson (of Blank Canvas), a friend and colleague with whom she has worked for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Divine Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"75cl \/ Tax Included","offer_id":52444035678551,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6x75cl Case \/ Tax Included","offer_id":52444035711319,"sku":null,"price":83.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/5334\/6391\/files\/Tinpot-Hut-Sauvignon-Blanc-2024.jpg?v=1767363256","url":"https:\/\/divinefinewines.co.uk\/products\/tinpot-hut-sauvignon-blanc-2024","provider":"Divine Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
