Pungent aromas of citrus, nettles and sage, with lively passionfruit and floral notes adding allure and complexity. This wine delivers delicious citrus and stonefruit flavours with a crisp, refreshing finish that is synonymous with Marlborough. Koha Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect partner for fresh seafood and shellfish. Try this vibrant wine with littleneck or diamond shell clams in broth for a delicious and authentic taste of Marlborough.
Both vineyards are cane pruned on VSP trellising. The soils of the lower Wairau Valley Home Block give us ripe, complex flavours and pungent aromatics. While the naturally low cropping Redwood Hills Awatere Vineyard provides fruit with elegance, minerality and length.
The fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning and transferred to the winery where it underwent temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks using carefully selected yeast cultures. Post-ferment maturation on fine lees gives the wine a refined texture to compliment the exuberant aromatics.
91 Points & 4.5 Star Rated Sam Kim’s Wine Orbit
Bright and fresh, the beautifully fragrant bouquet shows grapefruit, apple, nectarine and lime zest characters. The palate is lively and crisp, offering lovely fruit intensity backed by refreshing acidity, finishing long and very tasty. Up front and flavoursome.
Highly Rated Raymond Chan, Wine Reviewer
Bright, very pale straw colour, near colourless on the rim. The nose is fresh with soft and light aromas of passionfruit, tropical fruits and herbs with a hint of blackcurrant leaf. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate is slender with flavours of passionfruit, nettles, cut-grass and green capsicums. The mouthfeel is refreshing with lacy acidity and the wine flows along a light-textured phenolic line that carries to a moderately long, dry finish. This is a slender Sauvignon Blanc with light passionfruit flavours with nettle and cut-grass notes on a textured palate with fresh acidity. Serve with seafood, salads and vegetables over the next 2 years. Fruit 65% from the Redwood Hills, Awatere and 35% from the ’Home’ vineyard, Wairau Bar, cool-fermented in tank with 5% of hand-picked fruit from the ’Hillside’ block in the Awatere WBP to barrel for indigenous yeast fermentation and 3 months aging on lees.
