Vicarage Lane Wines has a range of Marlborough and Canterbury wines, all produced under the watchful eye of vastly experienced Canterbury winemaker Alan McCorkindale.
The current range includes:
The Sauvignon Blanc 2020 crop from Vicarage Lane Wines' St Leonards Road vineyard was machine-harvested on 26 March, yielding 92.88 tonnes of good quality fruit.
The harvested fruit was pressed at Spring Creek Vintners, just a few kilometres from the vineyard, yielding 74,208 litres of juice, which will be crafted into Vicarage Lane's 2020 Sauvignon Blanc under the watchful eye of renowned New Zealand winemaker Alan McCorkindale.
Initial bottling of the finished wine took place in May and, after rigorous export testing to ensure the wine meets New Zealand’s high export standards, the first export shipment can be expected to arrive in Finland late in the northern summer.
In general 2019-20 was an interesting season, with higher than average rainfall in December (early summer) followed by very dry summer and early autumn.
Here's a quick look at the start of Harvest 2019.
Vineyard tours and wine tastings are organised by appointment only.
They are FREE of charge for small groups of up to 4 persons.
