Pale straw with slight green hues. Fresh, vibrant and full of character. Bursting with flavours of passionfruit, lime and juicy citrus, lifted by hints of grass and fresh herbs. Light crisp and refreshing, this wine is all about bright fruit and zesty acidity.
Viticulture
Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc were selected from our Awatere and Wairau Valley vineyards, where they were machine harvested at optimum ripeness.
Vinification
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
The Sauvignon Blanc produced from this vintage has grassy, herb and fruit flavours, with a zesty palate and an elegant fresh finish. A perfect match for summer salads, seafood or simply enjoyed well chilled on a sunny day.
