Establishing Sherwood Estate in 1987, Dayne and Jill Sherwood run this sizeable operation personally with much of its production exported to over two dozen countries. The Sherwood brand is seeing a stronger presence domestically now, with marketing efforts directed in this direction. The premium wines are the ‘Signature Family’ wines, identified by the name ‘Sherwood’ in hand script on the label. This brand is supported by the secondary ‘Stoney Range’ and ‘Stratum’ labels, with the limited release ‘Waipara Collection’ and ‘Heritage Collection’ wines above. The wines are made by the very experienced Petter Evans. Here, I review the 2016 ‘Signature Family’ Waipara Valley Pinot Noir. www.sherwood.co.nz
