Katherine Jacobs and Jeremy Corban operate Big Sky Wines from an established vineyard they purchased after returning to New Zealand from France in 2005. The vineyard on Te Muna Road in Martinborough is planted to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, and they make a tight range of wines from those varieties; the portfolio including a quality sparkling as well as a Gruner Veltliner from fruit from therir neighbours Craggy Range. Recently, it was announced that Katherine and Jeremy will be utilising fruit from the Pond Paddock vineyard over the road. Katherine and Jeremy are full-hands-on, and tend to the viticulture, and making the wines. The Pinot Noirs to date have shown plenty of richness and structure, but the white wines are equally well-made. Here, I review the 2017 Gruner Vetliner. www.bigskywines.co.nz
