a picture of 2009 Auntsfield “Long Cow”
By Pete Bressert, Balzac Wine Bar


Marlborough – New Zealand
Vintage: 2009

Founded in the 1860s, Auntsfield is the first and oldest winery in Marlborough. The fruit for this wine was grown on the original “Long Cow” Paddock, land used in colonial times to graze the Auntsfield house-cow. An iconic wine to be sure, the wine dazzles in the glass with a straw gold color. Typical flavors abound, with notes of gooseberry, passion fruit and tropical fruits. This wine does, however, have more of an old world taste to it rather than the racy acidity often associated with New Zealand.
