Tasting Notes:

Highly lifted aromatics showing bright passionfruit and papaya with zingy limes and pineapples. Overtly tropical but with a hint of mint/herbals coming through from the lower Awatere block. The palate is beautifully balanced with a generous sweet entry and great crunchy acidity which allows the fruit to echo around the palate. The 2014 Sauvignon Blanc is a real return to form showing all the vibrancy and intensity that has seen its popularity grow globally.

Technical:

Extensive fruit thinning was carried out at Veraison to give the vines balance and ensure fruit was able to deliver intensity and weight. The Westhaven microclimate is unique in that it rarely receives frosts but gets very cool nights, hence harvesting is comparatively late when compared to the Wairau and Awatere. However, this extra length in the season locks in fruit and pungent flavours. In addition to the Westhaven estates is a parcel of second crop Sauvignon from the Awatere valley Southern river flats. These young vines produce punchy intense flavours full of zesty gooseberry and fresh sliced bell peppers and contrast well the tropical Westhaven blocks.

The fruit was harvested at night, de‐stemmed and crushed then cold settled for 48 hours. Clear juice was racked and solids vacuum filtered back to the free run. A number of yeasts were used to help create a spectrum of aromas and texture with average fermentation lasting around 3 weeks. The tanks were then topped up and stirred (battonage) without sulphur for 10-.‐12 weeks. After the wine had gained some lees texture it was lightly fined with Casein and Isinglass and stabilised for bottling.

Accolades & Awards:

5 stars & 93 points, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"One of the most consistently excellent labels, this latest version is cracking good. It's pristine and beautifully lifted on the nose showing tropical fruit, white peach, dill and a hint of flinty complexity. The palate is concentrated and juicy with excellent intensity and vibrancy, and finishes superbly long and succulent.”

4 Stars Raymond Chan

“Brilliant, very pale straw‐yellow colour with slight green hues, light on edge. The nose is fresh and finely presented with harmoniously concentrated aromas of passionfruit and nettles, lifted with white florals and fermentation esters. This is very expressive of the Awatere Valley. Dry to taste and medium‐bodied, refreshingly juicy and mouthwatering flavours of passionfruit and nettles form a concentrated core. The palate is very fine in texture with lacy acidity lending vitality and tension. The wine flows smoothly with good energy, leading to a refined, dry finish with nettle and gooseberry nuances. This is a refreshing and finely presented Sauvignon Blanc with smooth passionfruity flavours in the classical Awatere Valley style.”

90 Points, Bob Campbell

“Moderately rich and fleshy Sauvignon Blanc with strong guava and pink grapefruit together with more subtle passion fruit and red capsicum. Tangy wine with a crisp, drying finish.”

4 Stars Michael Cooper

The 2014 vintage is aromatic and crisp, in a medium-bodied style with punchy, melon/lime flavours and a slightly spicy, tangy, lingering finish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wolfy from My summer white wine ! I am not a huge fan of white wine. But living in Qld I always try to fine a Sauvignon Blanc for the hot summer days we have. I really enjoyed this one as its really refreshing and has a nice balance between overly sweet or tart. I will be getting another case and this will be my white wine for Summer 2017/2018.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tony2 from Good value wine I was looking for a good, inexpensive sauv blanc and found it. Very citrus (grapefruit) on th nose and a citrus/passionfruit mix taste. Not a great wine but very acceptable at the price.
