The Hermit Ram Sauvignon Blanc Zealandia 2021

MXN $860

Grape: Sauvignon Blanc

Region: North Canterbury, New Zealand

You’ll taste/smell: Looking for a classic Kiwi Sauv Blanc? You better run the other way. This one has attitude, loaded with aromatics, gripping, a complete different experience. Theo Coles the winemaker describes it as a total change on direction — “a feel like charred jalapeños, orchard fruit, with sweet masa textures“–  we are definitely saving a bottle for us.

Good to have it with: maybe it will go great with a Mexican carne asada, some guacamole, smoky salsa and of course grilled cheesy jalapeños.

The Winery: The Hermit Ram

In 2012 Theo Coles discovered the Limestone Hills vineyard in Canterbury in the north of New Zealand’s South Island.  Owned by Gareth Renowdon, Theo agreed to make some wine with him from his 1000 or so Pinot Noir vines.  Limestone Hills vineyard is naturally farmed, and the first vintage (2012) was that way too — no additions and matured in old oak.

Since then Theo has expanded the range to include the skin fermented Sauvignon Blanc and Müller-Thurgau, a field blend rosé and another Pinot Noir.  The fruit comes from tiny vineyards throughout the Canterbury region, all naturally farmed without chemicals and Theo is keen to stress that every wine has its own story to tell.  We agree and would add that this is some of the most exciting wine to come out of New Zealand for a long time; a turning point for authentic, artisan winemakers in a country so often associated with mass-produced wine.  These are wines with personality, depth, complexity and most importantly, drinkability.
