Durvillea

	Durvillea Winemakers: Simon Waghorn & Jane Forrest Region: Marlborough, New Zealand

All along Marlborough’s wild coast, clinging to rocks at low tide is the seaweed Durvillea. To locals, it is known as Bull Kelp or Rimurapa. Its strong lines, shapes, textures and colours were the inspiration for our wine. Our winemaker Simon Waghorn was drawn to Durvillea when studying toward a Masters of Natural Resources in 1980. He was planning to farm seaweed but changed course to undertake a career in winemaking. The label is printed on recycled paper, the bottle is lighter in weight, and the grapes are sourced from sustainable vineyards. Together, these factors combine to minimise its carbon footprint. 2008 Sauvignon Blanc 2008 Pinot Grigio 2007 Pinot Noir
