The color is deep purple with a reddish hue, and the fruit aromas of raspberries, cherries, strawberries, and other fruits, violet flowers, spices, and barrel aromas are in harmony. The flavors of American cherries and red shiso, the spices, and the tannins are also clearly felt, but they are well-balanced and blended with the fruitiness. 2020 was also a dry year. The river water used for irrigation dried up, and many producers saw a significant drop in production, but Folium was less affected because of dry farming. Due to the early spring rain, powdery mildew occurred and production was significantly reduced, but the grapes were harvested with excellent quality. The field is located at an altitude of 63m in the Southern Valley, facing north. The soil is well-drained, containing a lot of pebbles and gravel from the river, and the clay and river soil containing gravel and pebbles are layered on top of each other. Folium Vineyards was founded in June 2010 in Brancott Valley in the Marlborough region in the northeast of New Zealand's South Island. At Folium Vineyard, we grow Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with great care, aiming to produce the highest quality wine. The soil of the vineyard is a mixture of clay brought by the movement of glaciers during the ice age and gravel carried by the flooding of the Wairau River. The soil contains a lot of clay, which allows the grapes to retain the moisture they need to grow even in the dry summer. By planting more trees than other vineyards in Marlborough, we can produce more concentrated and powerful fruit. In order to maintain New Zealand's clean environment, we follow the regulations of the organic farming certification organization "Biogro" (certified in 2014). "The fastest way to make high-quality wine is to grow high-quality grapes," says Okada, the grower and winemaker. We strictly limit yields in the vineyard, manage the canopy by removing leaves, and in the fall, we hand-pick all the fully ripe fruit. In order to make the most of the individuality of the harvested grapes, we keep human involvement in the brewing process to a minimum and produce wines that reflect the terroir of Folium Vineyard.
