This rich and crispy wine reflects the beauty of its Marlborough origin, with a plethora of fresh tropical fruit and gooseberry aromas as well as nuances of elderflower and nettle. It is well-balanced, elegant and has a long finish to savour.
Viticulture
The Sauvignon Blanc produced from this vintage has concentrated fruit flavours, with a vibrant pure palate and an elegant fresh finish.
Vinification
Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc were selected from our Awatere and Wairau Valley vineyards, where they were harvested at optimum ripeness.
At the winery, the fruit was gently pressed and clarified, after which the clear juice was inoculated using a range of selected yeasts.
Long cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks retained the vibrant, fresh characters Sauvignon Blanc is known for.
After fermentation, the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered in preparation for bottling.
Recommendation
Ideally paired with fresh seafood. Serve chilled at 9-11°C.
