This wine has a lovely lemon yellow colour, highlighted by green hues. The initial aromatics show green apples and guava, kiwi fruit and just a hint of passion fruit. On the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc is super vibrant and zesty, guava and kiwi fruit with a touch of savoury green grass to balance the fruit flavours beautifully. The wine is medium in length and intensity.
Summer started early in Marlborough, with the warm weather leading to varietal flavours, however temperatures cooled through summer into harvest which slowed down the ripening. Whilst extending the vintage this cool weather has resulted in wines with fine and intense fruit flavours.
The fruit is picked at night and in the cool of the morning to ensure we retain absolute freshness. Using techniques of partial skin contact and aromatic yeast fermentation we ensure that we are able to best reflect and preserve the flavours and aromas grown in the vineyard.
Fruit is sourced from a variety of growers around Marlborough; this region is regarded as perfect for growing Sauvignon Blanc with distinctly varietal aromas, lovely crisp acid, freshness and vibrancy.
Highly Rated Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Lifted aromas of ginger, florals and ripe citrus are somewhat enticing.
