Description
"91pts... a brilliantly priced sauvignon, it's intensely fragrant on the nose with punchy aromas of stone fruit, lime zest, red capsicum and feijoa, followed by a lively palate that delivers plenty of appealing flavours. The wine is flavoursome, zesty and lingering. A perfect summer tipple. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2015.
Fruit for this wine comes from several vineyards throughout Marlborough where the grapes were harvested when they reached optimum ripeness. The 2015 vintage for Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough was excellent, with outstanding fruit intensity and depth of flavour.
Intense aromas of citrus and passionfruit fill the nose. Vibrant and light in body, the palate shows typical Marlborough Sauvignon flavours including grapefruit, citrus, passionfruit and gooseberry. A succulent wine drinking beautifully now or up to two years from vintage date.
A perfect match with whitebait fritters, fresh fish with lemon and herb sauce or leafy green salad.
Marlborough’s worst ever fire, Boxing Day 2000, burnt 6,000 ha, for over three days, killed thousands of stock and threatened the wine town of Blenheim, as well as a number of vineyards and wineries.
Disaster was avoided by the brave residents, of what is now known as Fireroad, who battled the blaze, by using buckets and hand held hoses and were eventually assisted by a fortunate wind shrift.
