Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
2024
Select Blocks Organic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
A vigorous but sophisticated New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc produced from selected organic vineyard blocks in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. A vibrant and pure wine - juicy, yet soft, with good depth and body – that truly stands in a class of its own.
Tasting Notes
A heady mix of exotic tropical fruits, stone fruits and spice.
Smooth entry with mango, pawpaw and lemon grass. A concentrated blackcurrant note flows onto the finish from the mid-palate. Rich, nervy and juicy.

Winemaker Notes
The fruit was harvested in excellent condition from our certified organic willow block at Tetley Brook vineyard in the Awatere Valley. The grapes were proctected from oxidation and quickly pressed off skins. Fermentation took place in tank at 18C . After some month on lees the wine was fined and bottled. Strict organic procedures were followed at all times.
Food Pairing
Oysters, scallops, crab, clams, lobster, prawns - any shellfish with zingy flavours or a citrus or garlic marinade or dressing. (Big fat garlicky prawns - yum!
