Pale straw with a subtle green hue, bright and youthful in the glass. Classic Marlborough profiile, vibrant aromas of passion fruit, gooseberry and lime zest, underpinned by fresh-cut herbs and a hint of elderflower. Light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity driving the palate. Bursting with citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and tropical fruit notes, balanced by subtle minerality and a clean, refreshing line. Zesty dry and refreshing with a lingering citrus and a touch of saline snap
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
A perfect match for summer salads, seafood or simply enjoyed well chilled on a sunny day.
