lime, classic gooseberry and dried herbs

The aromatics in this Sauvignon are distinctly tropical. Indulging the nose the initial sweet passionfruit then gives way to hints of lime, classic gooseberry and dried herbs. The entry on to the palate is smooth and fruit driven, which accelerates through to a mid palate burst of energy from the firm lively acidity with a lingering mouth-watering finish, leaving the discerning wine drinker simply gagging for more.

Nobody has more experience growing grapes in Marlborough than Allan Scott. He planted some of the region's most famous vineyards, including the very first, and has worked the land there every vintage since. He physically helped plant the region's very first vineyard in 1973. Many of the vineyards he developed subsequently have gone on to win world... Read more »

Decadent ripe tropical fruit

"A smooth and mellow style that has a nice mix of lime and stone fruits, with a little lantana leaf and banana skin. The palate has tropical fruit flavours with a gentle, pastry-like lees influence and lime juices to finish." - Nick Stock, The Age Good Wine Guide 2013

This full bodied dry Sauvignon Blanc has decadent ripe tropical fruit aromas. The palette is balanced, encompassing ripe passion fruit and citrus aromas with a hint of dried Mediterranean herbs, full bodied and textural with a crisp finish.

a very expressive Sauvignon Blanc.... with more lime/lemon, fresh passionfruit

A cooler 2012 has resulted in a very expressive Sauvignon Blanc, less tropical than the 2011with more lemon/lime, fresh passion-fruit, a lovely flinty character and a twist of mint. There’s a creaminess to the texture derived from the portion fermented in barrel, and a real drive and energy on the finish. Hand-picked, hand-sorted fruit and time on lees are integral to achieving our more elegant, restrained and food-friendly style.
 

Fruit hand-picked and crushed with around half given a few hours of cold soak skin-contact before draining and pressing. 20% fermented in  3 year old oak, 80% in stainless steel. Inoculated and fermented in controlled temperature storage at 12-18oC.

"signature example of premium Hawke’s Bay Sauvignon Blanc"

4 Star: Raymond Chan, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews

"Brilliant, very pale straw-yellow colour with slight green hues.  The bouquet is elegant and gently expressed with aromas of ripe gooseberries, white florals, and hints of tropical fruit with mineral notes all harmoniously integrated.  Dry to taste and medium-bodied, flavours of ripe gooseberries, yellow stonefruits and citrus show purity allied with subtle richness.  This is soft and refined in texture and mouthfeel, with the palate possessing good weight and presence.  The integration and balance is a feature, and lacy acidity provides freshness which carries the flavours to a soft...

After pressing, the juice was cool-fermented in stainless steel tanks to retainthe essence of the fruit.

finely textured with ripe gooseberry

This Sauvignon Blanc displays passion fruit and herbaceous on the nose with a chalky mineral complexity. The palate is finely textured with ripe gooseberry, tropical fruit and citrus notes, framed by a fresh acidity to create a persistent finish. Drink now to 2018.

Eighteen different parcels of Sauvignon Blanc and two portion of Semillon from the different vineyard blocks were pressed and then fermented separately so that we had a greater range of options when creating the final blend. The wine was naturally fermented using wild yeast for added complexity and texture, and approximately fifteen percent of the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were fermented in aged French oak barriques.

Champion Sauvignon Blanc: The Spiegeleau International Wine Show

Gold Medal: Spiegelau International Wine Show

Gold Medal: NZ International Wine Show

The palate is full and vibrant. Fresh nettle, gooseberry and tropical fruit flavours abound and linger on the long, clean acid finish.

wonderfully toasted muesli/tropical fruit character

This estate grown Waiheke Sauvignon Blanc exhibits fresh herb, nettles and gooseberry characters and contains a splash of Semillon creating a wine that is fresh and crisp in a dry fruity style. The Sauvignon Blanc adds the pungency to the aromas and the Semillon adds a remarkable ‘chalky’ minerality to the wine which, over time, will develop into a wonderfully toasted muesli/tropical fruit character.

This wine is a blend of 89% Sauvignon Blanc and 11% Semillon. Both varieties are whole bunch pressed and taken to tank for cold settling. After 4 or 5 days of settling the wines were racked to tank for fermentation and for Sauvignon Blanc, depending on the batch, were either crystal clear or cloudy and for Semillon crystal clear.

passionfruit, guavas and lychees, supported by crushed herbs and ripe gooseberries

The enticing bouquet and flavours suggest passionfruit, guavas and lychees, supported by crushed herbs and ripe gooseberries. Whiffs of Turkish musk and exotic spice add an extra dimension. The finish is dry, crisp and tangy.

The grapes were grown on well drained stony soil in the Waipara Valley. The rows of vines are orientated in a north south direction to ensure good sunlight exposure on each side of the vine and to assist even ripening of the berries.

Intense aromatics of guava, gooseberry, nettles and black currants dominate with undertones of lychee and chalk dust

Gravestone is a blend of 70% Sauvignon blanc and 30% Semillon, partially fermented in barrel. Intense aromatics of guava, gooseberry, nettles and black currants dominate with undertones of lychee and chalk dust.

Pungently aromatic in the varietal sweetpea/ passion-fruit spectrum. This cocktail of fruit has a base of tropical melon.

The 2011 Left Field has a little more richness than the 2010. The grapes were harvested at a slightly higher brix level whilst retaining the wonderful snow pea and tropical flavours.

The winemaking was focused around preserving those notes and ensuring the wine was bottled dry with the seashore freshness of the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc style.

Semillon perhaps contributes more to the youthful impression than Sauvignon Blanc does. Certainly on the nose floral notes and citrus peel lift the wine.
