High above the plains of Marlborough, New Zealand’s premium wine growing region for Sauvignon Blanc, one can see Mount Fishtail’s peak standing as a sentinel looking over the many quality vineyards in the area. This double peaked mountain is an inspiring omen and lead to a range of wines being released under its name.

Quality is the absolute focus of Mount Fishtail wines and it starts in the vineyard. Here, no short cuts are taken in making a truly great wine, and this continues in the winery where ‘handcrafting’ is the applied standard.

Mount Fishtail's philosophy is: "the best fertilizer is the foot of the farmer".

Mount Fishtail Sauvignon Blanc “Sur Lie” is different from the 300+ labels currently in the market. This Sur Lie process is the same as that employed in Sancerre and Bordeaux and has made the world of difference, qualitatively.
