This aromatic Sauvignon Blanc shows classic Wairau Valley blackcurrant with hints of herb on the nose. Refreshing tropical fruits and grapefruit fill the palate, finishing deliciously crisp and dry. The dry 2020 vintage created a bounty of intense flavour and quality for our Marlborough vineyards. Harvest was characterised by quality fruit with generous aromatics, concentrated flavour, texture and lovely natural acidity. Grapes for this wine were carefully hand selected for picking in parcels at the perfect ripeness. Juice was fermented at moderate temperatures (14-16Cº) using a combination of classic Sauvignon Blanc yeasts. This ensured distinct varietal definition and fruit purity, and a textural palate. After fermentation the wine was left to mature in tank on light lees to ensure texture and complexity, before being racked, blended and filtered in preparation for bottling.
