The color is pale lemon yellow, with flavors of lemon, grapefruit peel, and white flowers, salty shells, mineral minerals, and lively acidity, which give the taste complexity and structure. We have produced powerful wines with a sense of concentration for three consecutive years in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Due to late frost, bad weather during the flowering period, and drought, the yield was significantly reduced by 25% on average in the production area, but the quality of the vintage was very high. The vineyard is located in the Southern Valley at an altitude of 63m, facing north. The soil is well-drained, containing a lot of pebbles and gravel from the river, and the soil is a sedimentary soil with layers of clay and river soil containing gravel and pebbles. Folium Vineyard was founded in June 2010 in Brancott Valley in the Marlborough region in the northeast of the South Island of New Zealand. 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, so it can retain the moisture necessary for grape growth 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.
