Pungent and complex with passionfruit, citrus and blackcurrant. Smoke and gunflint notes and an underlying tropical richness.

Tropical fruits, blackcurrant leaf and an impression of volume are immediately apparent. Fresh lime and white stone fruits with boxwood and garden herbs lingering along with some very persistent thiols. Ripe, mouth fulling and lively.

Grapes from our Waihopai Valley Estates were picked, crushed, and pressed with minimal skin contact. The juice was clarified then fermented in stainless steel tanks with a variety of commercial & wild yeast species to build in some textural and flavour complexity. A portion underwent malolactic fermentation also. After extensive tastings by the winemakers, this blend was assembled, lightly fined and bottled.

This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc wine can be enjoyed with a variety of foods. An iIdeal partner for seafood.
