    Tasting - Mahi Wines, Marlborough

    7:45 - 9:45 pm

    Venue: Johnsonville Community Centre Hall, 30 Moorefield Rd, Johnsonville, Wellington 6037 - Directions 
    Entry fee: Members $14 Guests $18
    Presenter: Brian Bicknell

    Mahi, meaning ‘our work, our craft’, began in 2001, fulfilling a dream for Brian and Nicola Bicknell

    Brian is an engaging presenter, winemaker and owner of Mahi with wide international experience. They create a series of wines from their different vineyard sites across Marlborough to show the region has true depth and complexity. Their very first harvest was from a vineyard located in the Conder’s Bend part of Marlborough – Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from the Byrne vineyard. This is now an organic site.

    ‘The primary emphasis for all of Mahi’s wines is texture, aiming for wines that give real palate satisfaction rather than fruit-bomb styles.’

    Wines we will be tasting during the evening are from the different vineyards under the
    Mahi banner, so we get to experience how the different plots produce different wines:

    • Rosé to start
    • 2 x Sauvignons – vertical tasting
    • 3 x Chardonnays – vertical tasting
    • 2 x Pinot Noir – vertical tasting

    The observant ones reading this will notice that this is an opportunity to taste 8 wines and not our normal 7. So, please make sure you have plenty to eat before coming. It should be a very interesting tasting and one not to be missed.

See all past club events from February 1985.
