2021 Bob Short for Kate Organic Sauvignon Blanc

75cl bottle.

Organic.

When it comes to professional wine people, Ben Glover is about as top-of-the-tree as it gets. Ben’s role call includes almost too many accolades: previously a Wine Marlborough committee member, chair of the Bragato Wine Show (New Zealand’s only single vineyard wine show) and was chair of Pinot Noir 2017 New Zealand, the world’s largest and most prestigious pinot noir event. He was an inaugural Len Evans scholar in 2001 and has over 25 years of experience as a national and international wine judge.

This is all to say that, when you open a bottle of Bob/Short for Kate, you are in safe hands. Nicknamed ‘Bob’ by her family (some of you may recognize the Blackadder reference), Bob/Short for Kate is a tribute to Kate Glover, Ben’s sister, who passed away in 2018. Ben explains that he has looked to produce a wine that characterises the honesty, purity and confidence of Kate. This is an organic, Marlborough  small-batch Sauvignon Blanc, reliant on selected blocks from the family’s vines and exceptional fruit selection. Not to mention the skill of one of the region’s most well-regarded winemakers.
