A Thousand Gods Blanc 2023
After spending a decade making wine in Cahors in the south west of France, Lauren and Simon Sharpe have returned to New Zealand to produce wine under their own label A Thousand Gods.
Their aim is to make wines they can call their own, both representative of site, yet in their own way, surprisingly unique. The name is inspired by an expression in Occitan 'miladiou' (mille-dieux in French). Occitan was the language spoken in the south of France prior to French, and certain dialects of Occitan can still be heard in rural areas of southern France today, although the language is gradually dying out. “Miladiou!” is an exclamation of surprise that can be used in a myriad of situations and an English equivalent would be Blimey! or Holy Cow! but it literally translates as “A Thousand Gods!”
Made from hand-picked fruit grown at Churton’s biodynamic Marlborough vineyards, the wines are fermented with wild yeast, with no additions, fining or filtering. All their winemaking experience and talent is evident, these wines are poised and delicious.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from Churton’s biodynamic Marlborough vineyards in New Zealand
Taste Profile: A precise expression of Marlborough Sauvignon, this ‘Blanc’ from the talented Thousand Gods team is a triumph. It has a ripe fruit profile yet it’s understated. It’s fresh, mineral and driven, but not searingly so. Its palate offers a distinctive balance between rich fruit and a fresh mineral backbone, influenced by subtle Jura-inspired tension and salinity
Winemaking Process: The wine undergoes wild fermentation with no additives, fining, or filtration. The wine ages in old barrels and is bottled unfined and unfiltered, creating a textured, complex profile that’s both approachable and cellar-worthy.
