Expressive tropical fruit aromas and floral notes on the nose are complemented by crisp, mineral acidity - while a hint of oak adds texture and structure to the palate.
The grapes for this Cawte’s Cave wine are farmed organically and represent the pure natural taste of the place from where they are grown. 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 oak for ferment. Cultivated yeast was used for the tank portion while indigenous yeast was used for the oak portion. The wine was then racked and left to mature on fine lees for 4 months before bottling.

"Tightly structured and elegantly lifted, the bouquet shows Granny Smith apple, apricot, kaffir line, and white floral aromas, leading to a mouth-watering palate filled with right fruit flavoursbacked by racy acidity. It's sleek and taut with a legthy, structured finish. At its best: now to 2026. $23.00"

"Cawtes Cave Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Marlborough. A lovely bouquet of purity and freshness with polished scents of apple, passionfruit and citrus framed by a lees and perhaps whisper of barrel ferment. A satin touch on the palate then a rush of acidity and fruit flavours from citrus and tropical fruits to apple and lemon peel. Crisp and dry on the finish with the lees and phenolics reach from to back palate and fruit in between. Best from day of purchase through 2027."
