Light green in colour. The nose is intense with tropical and citrus fruits and typical Marlborough sweat. The palate is mouth filling with sweet generous fruit. Classical Marlborough acidity compliments the fruit and gives structure and length to the wine. A fresh, crisp Sauvignon Blanc perfect for drinking now. Winemakers Notes
The Shingle Peak Reserve vineyard blocks are selected early in the growing season, with crop levels monitored to ensure the vines are not overloaded, which would compromise flavour. With Shingle Peak Reserve Senior Winemaker Nikolai St George crafts this outstanding range to emphasise the special qualities of Marlborough through premium viticultural and winemaking practices. These wines are carefully crafted to be enjoyed with food, where the secondary characters overlay the primary fruit flavours. The resulting wines deliver intense varietal characters on the nose, with depth and complexity on the palate.
