Producer
Establishing Mahi, meaning ‘our work, our craft’, was a long-held dream for Brian and Nicola Bicknell. A seasoned international winemaker, Brian made Mahi’s first vintage in 2001, and in 2006 they finally purchased a winery in the very heart of Marlborough. It is the texture of these wines that particularly impresses; while far from heavy, they have a sense of substance that places them among the very best in Marlborough.
Vineyard
This single vineyard wine is from the cooler western end of the Wairau Valley. The eighteen-year-old vines are planted on a complex soil of silt and clay with large stones. The grapes were hand-harvested between the 29th of March and the 13th of April.
Winery
Following sorting, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed and the juice run straight to French barriques, with fifteen percent new wood. It fermented with natural yeast and was aged in barrel for fifteen months.
