Day 103 : Wine tour in Blenheim

Went on a wine tour (Na Clachan tours) in Blenheim, Marlborough. It was cool and we learned lots but it was a bit hard work as we were the only ones on it (it’s a rugby match day) so we had the full attention of all the merchants. They make a lot of sav blancs and Rieslings. Some wines we liked…

• Wither Hills 2010 chardonnay
• Lawson’s Dry Hills Gewurztraminer, 2009. Chardonnay 2007, pinot rose 2011
• Hunter’s Kaho Roa 2008, chardonnay 2009, Hukapapa Riesling 2009
• Framingham F-series old vine Riesling 2010
• Mahi Chardonnay (Alchemy) 2009, Pinot noir 2009

Went for a walk on the beach we are staying at (Rarangi) and looked at the big waves crashing on the beach.
