This wine has a lovely lemon yellow colour highlighted by green hues. The initial aromatics show green apples, guava, kiwi fruit and just a hint of passion fruit. On the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc shows the vibrancy and freshness that NZ Sauvignon Blanc's are renowned for. The palate is generous with intense gooseberry and passion fruit and the finish is balanced by a welcome freshness.Â
The lead up to vintage in Marlborough presented a few challenges. A very warm January was followed by a wet February; however diligent growers were able to see their fruit through these challenging time’s and the result was fruit that developed great flavours at lower baume levels. The fruit is picked at night and in the cool of the morning to ensure we retain absolute freshness. Using techniques of partial skin contact and aromatic yeast fermentation we ensure that we are able to best reflect and preserve the flavours and aromas grown in the vineyard.
