Tasting Notes:

The bouquet displays classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas of gooseberry and passionfruit with stone fruits, lime zest and herbaceous characters. This all leads to a palate that exhibits excellent fruit concentration and depth of flavour all the while being beautifully restrained and elegant.

Technical:

The Winery's aim is best summed up by 'fine wine begins with the vine'. Their approach is through sustainable viticulture where they strive for balance in the vineyard. This ultimately provides grapes that are a reflection of the particular site. The grapes were harvested in the cool morning and the juice cold settled for 48 hours prior to racking to stainless steel tanks and a portion (10%) to seasoned French oak for ferment. The thiol releasing yeast X-5 was used for fermentation. The wine was then racked and left to mature on fine lees for 4 months before bottling.

The vineyard is situated within an ancient bend of the Opawa River and the vineyard name in fact refers to the shape of the road which follows this old river channel.

"Our philosophy is to make real wines which speak of their home; to express the pure distinct flavours from our organic estate vineyards in Marlborough and Central Otago. It’s the way we live." Certified organic.

Accolades & Awards:

93 Points Sam Kim

"It's delicately aromatic on the nose displaying stone fruit, lime zest, feijoa and herbaceous characters. The palate is juicy and finely textured with excellent focus, leading to a lingering crisp finish. The wine shows classic flavours in a lovely restrained way. At its best: now to 2017. Certified organic."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eddie23 from Beautiful drop My wife raves about this wine, but to be honest, I prefer a good Shiraz. However, dinner dictated a white as an accompaniment as I was pleasantly surprised at the beautiful flavours. I had more than one glass!!
