Mount Fishtail
Mount Fishtail produces wines from New Zealand's South Island, a region celebrated for vibrant Sauvignon Blancs and elegant Pinot Noirs. The winery's Sur Lie Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff. The Sur Lie expression, made with extended lees contact, shows the textural complexity that distinguishes it from the standard Sauvignon Blanc offering. Both whites and reds reflect the South Island's cool-climate character—crisp acidity and mineral precision in the Sauvignon Blancs, and the silky structure and red-fruit focus typical of the region's Pinot Noir. The portfolio demonstrates the winery's focus on these two signature varieties.
