Marlborough,  New Zealand

Mount Fishtail is the second label owned by Konrad and Sigrun Hengstler of Konrad & Co. wines. The Mountain is part of the Richmond ranges, which is the Mountain range bordering the Marlborough region to the North and part of the landscape most visible from the Waihopai Valley home site and vineyard of the Hengstler family.

Marlborough, on the South Island of New Zealand, has gained world recognition for its Sauvignon Blanc wines, grown on alluvial soils. Extensive sunshine hours (over 2500 per annum) and cool nights are the perfect background for this crisp and clean wine with ripe tropical overtones. Superb structure and length, through balanced acid and exquisite fruit concentration, enhance the lime characters so distinctive of the Marlborough region on this wine.

The 2005 season with a large diurnal temperature range in both company owned vineyards in the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys, at the foot of Mount Fishtail, has resulted in a harvest which makes this Sauvignon Blanc a perfect partner with seafood, poultry, pasta or Asian dishes.
