Montana Cab/Sav/Mer
$11.99each
The story of Montana Cab/Sav/Mer
Montana began as a family vineyard in the Waitakere Ranges, west of Auckland, started by Croatian immigrant Ivan Yukich, who named it Montana, meaning mountain, for the height of the site. The first wine was sold in 1944, and in 1961 his sons Mate and Frank formed Montana Wines Limited. Within about 25 years it was New Zealand's largest winemaker.
Frank Yukich also helped open up Marlborough. Vines went into the Brancott Valley on 24 August 1973, the start of the modern Marlborough wine industry, and the first Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc followed in 1979. Overseas the brand is now sold as Brancott Estate, but the Montana name is still kept on bottles in New Zealand.
This wine pairs two Bordeaux varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure, tannin and acidity, and Merlot rounds it out with softer, fleshier fruit, which is why the two have been blended in Bordeaux for so long. Expect dark fruit with savoury tannins.
Lamb and steak suit it, because the fat softens the tannins, and a plate of cheddar works too.
