Zephyr Agent Orange Wine 2024

The Glover family were one of the first to plant grapes in Marlborough’s Dillons Point sub-region in 1988, just as winemaking in the region was taking off. Nineteen years later, led by eldest son Ben, the family launched Zephyr, a range of single vineyard wines from their family farm. The name Zephyr means a gentle breeze, inspired by the prevailing wind that moderates their vineyards. It is also symbolised by the car of the same name. One of the original Glovers (Owen’s grandfather) owned one, and today their ‘company vehicle is the winged 1965 Mark 3 Zephyr. They also produce a very popular Zephyr MKIII Sauvignon Blanc. Through sustainable practices (plus more than 50% of their wines are certified organic), and a focus on expressing the unique characteristics of their vineyards, Zephyr produces wines that resonate with consumers worldwide.

A skin-fermented field blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Gewürztraminer from organically farmed vines. Whole-bunch fermented and left on skins for 108 days. Bottled with minimal sulphur to capture its wild, orange-tinged character.
