The 3 Tales are about the De Bortoli family story, the Marris family story and the narrative of two families coming together to produce a unique wine from fruit grown to estate vineyards on the slopes of the Wairau Valley and the river flats of the Waihopai. Whilst being a joint venture, the wine is distinctively New Zealand in its look and feel. The idyllic microclimes around the choice vineyard sites have provided a near perfect environment to encourage the development of the intense and traditional regional characters. It is this vibrancy of fruit that is the hallmark of 3 Tales, fully tank tank femented at 12C to15C with choice strains of yeast to retain the most vibrant expressions of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
