Pale straw gold in colour. A wonderfully zingy and refreshing wine with ripe tropical fruit and sherbet notes. The ripe, full flavours and tight structure of the palate reflect the intrinsic attributes of the Upper Wairau Valley. Blending the best fruit from our vineyards has created a spectrum of flavours, from ripe tropical through gooseberry, which is supported by a refreshing acidity and perfectly balanced residual sugar with a dry finish.
The MAUI range of wines takes their name from MAUI, the demi-god who as legend tells us captured the sun and pulled New Zealand out of sea. MAUI was a great adventurer with an inquisitive nature and a fearless spirit, attributes that are the very heart of the MAUI range of wines. The fruit was harvested at maximum flavour in the cool of the evening. It was very gently pressed to avoid harsh phenolic extraction and the juice allowed to cold settle. The clear juice was fermented at low temperatures using yeast renowned for their ability to enhance the Sauvignon Blanc aromas. A small amount of residual sugar was left in the wine to complement the palate weight and structure. The weather conditions were ideal for the 2015 vintage with the large diurnal fluctuation in temperatures providing perfect conditions for creating intense flavours while retaining fine acidity and elegance. Punchy fruit flavours were discernibly stronger than previous vintages and reflected the ideal growing conditions. Harvest started in third week of April
4.5 Stars & 91 Points Wine Orbit
This is generous, flavoursome and instantly likeable. Aromas of passionfruit, feijoa, peach and lime zest lead to a juicy palate that is vibrant and mouth-wateringly tasty. The wine shows classic Marlborough sauvignon flavours and refreshing acidity, finishing long and attractive.
