Big Sky Grüner Veltliner 2017
Vintage Character
Big Sky Grüner Veltliner 2017 is a distinctive white wine from Martinborough’s Te Muna Valley, one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed cool‑climate regions. The 2017 vintage was shaped by a cooler growing season with intermittent rain, resulting in wines of freshness, moderate alcohol, and precise aromatics. Made from 100% Grüner Veltliner, this cuvée was whole‑bunch pressed, fermented in stainless steel, and aged briefly on lees to enhance texture. It opens with aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, accented by delicate floral notes and a touch of white pepper, a hallmark of the variety.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The palate is crisp and lively, with fine acidity, subtle herbal nuances, and a supple mouthfeel that leads to a clean, mineral finish. Its vibrant style makes it a versatile partner for steamed dumplings, grilled prawns with lemon and herbs, or a fresh goat cheese salad, where its freshness and spice‑tinged lift enhance both delicate and savory flavors. Big Sky Wines is a boutique estate founded in 2005 by Katherine Jacobs and Jeremy Corban, who established their vineyards on Te Muna Road in Martinborough after returning from France.
Winery Background
Their philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention and respect for the land, with a focus on producing wines that reflect the unique soils and cool‑climate conditions of the region. The Te Muna Valley’s free‑draining alluvial gravels, long dry summers, and cool nights create ideal conditions for aromatic whites and elegant Pinot Noir. By combining attentive vineyard management with precise winemaking, Big Sky has built a reputation for expressive, terroir‑driven wines that highlight both varietal character and regional identity.
