Description
"Bright, fresh and inviting, the bouquet shows grapefruit, feijoa, kiwifruit and lime peel aromas, leading to a tasty palate that is juice and lively. The wine offers a pristine fruit flavours and fne texture, brilliantly structured by lively acidity, leading to a delightfully long crisp finish." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2018
Refreshingly fine and floral, with an elegance and tropical lift that is pure Hawke’s Bay, Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’17 is a wine of immense appeal. Palest lemon in the glass, it shimmers with fresh lime, grapefruit, passionfruit and vanilla. Full notes of white nectarine, gooseberry and fennel on the palate are balanced by a juicy acidity and a dry, crisp fi nish that are the signature of this stylish wine. Sippable, sumptuous sauvignon blanc.
The grapes for Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’17 were harvested between 9 and 18 March 2017 from Te Mata Estate’s own vineyards in the Bridge Pa Triangle and Havelock Hills sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. Hawke’s Bay’s warm climate and free draining soils produce sauvignon blanc with ripe fruit characters, balanced by fresh acidity, without the need for residual sugar. With sauvignon blanc grapes of such quality, minimal winemaking means the fi ner aromatics
and fl avours are preserved. At the winery, the grapes were chilled, gently pressed, and the juice cold-settled before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’17 can be enjoyed immediately upon release and will continue to develop in bottle for two years from harvest.
Food Pairing: Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’17 is best served chilled, either as a refreshing pre-dinner glass of wine, or with salads, seafood dishes, and lightly spiced Asian foods.
