SANDIHURST, CANTERBURY PINOT NOIR 2001
Year : 2001
Volume : 750ml
Established as a vineyard in 1988, Sandihurst Wines produced their first wine in 1992. Situated 26 km west of Christchurch, the vineyard benefits from the warm dry north-westerly winds flowing across the Canterbury Plains. These provide an ideal environment for grapes and keeps them free from many pests and diseases. Sandihurst is saturated of land formed from the bed of the Waimakaririr river in ages past and features many small sandy knolls. Another word for knoll is hurst and this is how the name Sandihurst was chosen. The Winemaker is Kirk Bray.

About the Vineyard
Sandihurst Winery is located at West Melton, approximately 20 kilometres west of the city of Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand. There are 12 hectares of vines planted in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. The vineyard was planted in the late 1980's, making it one of the oldest vineyards in the area.
Winemakers at Sandihurst believe the quality of wine is a direct reflection of the quality of fruit produced. To improve their crops they employ extensive shoot thinning, crop thinning and leaf plucking, working upon the theory that wider spaced vines allow more air and light to penetrate the canopy, countering disease and facilitating ripening. view other products
