Tinpot Hut, McKee Vineyard Gruner Veltliner 2018

An integrated approach in the vineyard means that it is a true team effort between Fiona and the growers, together employing viticulture techniques to achieve moderate yields and excellent varietal flavour. Sustainable practices are paramount and Tinpot Hut Wines is proud to display the New Zealand Sustainable Winegrowing logo on all our wines - a credit to our growers and the winery for continuing to deliver practices that protect the environment while efficiently and economically producing premium grapes and wine.

Tinpot Hut's owner and winemaker Fiona Turner began developing her Blind River "Home Block" vineyard in Marlborough's Awatere Valley with husband Hamish in 2005. Now fully mature, the Home Block's Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Riesling are the foundation of Tinpot Hut wines today. Select parcels of Blind River Grüner Veltliner and Hawkes Bay Syrah add further varietal diversity to the range. Originally part of a large sheep farming station, Fiona acknowledged the origins of her Home Block by naming her range of wines after the historic 'Tinpot Hut'; a Marlborough landmark frequented by local high country musterers.
