MahiTwin Valleys Chardonnay 2021

Mahi, the New-Zealand based wine brand, is a perfect example of the rich winemaking potential of the lands of the exquisite Marlborough Valley. Brian, who established this brand, came back to this valley in 1996, after many years of winemaking in different parts of the world. To his dismay, he noticed that there weren’t many labels in New Zealand that made full use of the rich terroirs of Marlborough; instead, they were only making regional blends that didn’t talk much about the soils where the fruits were grown.

This gave rise to the Mahi brand of wines. In the local dialect, Mahi means “our work, our craft.” Brian created this brand to make the world know that his wines were created by passionate people to reflect the depth & complexity of the Marlborough region. He started on a small scale, but today, he uses grapes grown from some of the best parcels of the region to produce unique wines that are full of character.
