Johnson Estate is a secondary brand of Spy Valley, named after the founders Bryan and Jan Johnson, and also the name of the vineyard and winery operation based in the Waihopi Valley in Marlborough. ‘Spy Valley' is the main brand, with the special limited production ‘Envoy' wines as the individual super-premium tier. The ‘Satellite' label is already well known, especially in export markets, and the ‘Johnson Estate' bottlings destined also for export andfor alternative distribution channels which do not conflict with existing lines. Here is my review of the Johnson Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2011. For enquiries on availability, contact the distributors red+white cellar. www.redwhitecellar.co.nz
