Description
"91pts.. Delicate notes of white blossoms and green apples with hints of wet pebbles and coriander seed. Pretty and elegant on the palate, it has approachable acidity and mineral flavors on the long finish." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
"A superior NZ sauv blanc. Elegant but still reflecting glorious glints of lemon, gooseberry and lime, this one’s a seafood partner as cool as they come." Winestate Magazine
Notes of blackcurrant leaf, wet stone and ripe stonefruit.Scented and textural, our Sauvignon Blanc expresses the unique terrior through flavours of blackcurrant leaf, and stonefruit with great texture, and bright, flinty acidity.
Enjoy with both fresh and cooked seafood dishes including freshly shucked oysters, prawns, green lipped mussels and creamy scallops.
The carefully harvested fruit from our block was crushed, de-stemmed, chilled and gently pressed. The juice was cold settled for 72 hours, after which the clear juice was racked off. A long, cool fermentation with a specialist Sauvignon Blanc yeast followed to capture and enhance the distinctive fruit flavours created by the block. The parcel was then kept on lees for two months. Regular lees stirring helped build texture and structure. The wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered before bottling.

This is an excellent wine - massive for the varietal. Too intense for quaffing, it needs to be paired with food - ideally shellfish
