Description
"Bright, even, light straw-yellow colour with some depth. The nose is firm and well-packed with a core of passionfruit harmoniously melded with nettle, cut-grass, green capsicum and snow pea aromas, unveiling some chalky mineral notes. The aromatics are layered and detailed. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate has a tightly bound heart with penetrating and intense flavours of passionfruit intermixed with nettles, fresh herbs, snow peas and nuances of minerals. The fruit has richness and sweetness and is enlivened by racy acidity, and the wine carries with good energy along a very fine-textured line. This has concentration and linearity, and the wine carries to a very long and sustained finish of passionfruit, herbs and nettles. This is a firmly-packed, intense, rich-fruited Sauvignon Blanc with real linearity. Match with Pacific Rim fare over the next 2 years. Fruit from 5 sites, fermented in stainless-steel with 7% indigenous yeast fermented in seasoned French oak barriques to 12.5% alc. and 2.2 g/L RS" Raymond Chan, Apr 2018
"Classy aromas of gooseberries, snow peas and nectarine burst forth on the nose of the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc. This plump, medium-bodied white is tailor-made for summertime drinking, with vibrant fruit that will stand up to a cold refrigerator, yet it has enough complexity to satisfy when served at warmer temperatures" Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate
The nose features passionfruit and floral notes with an underlying lime and herbaceous character. The palate is fresh, clean and bursting with intense fruit flavours, the wine's texture belies the wines fruit driven nature. This Sauvignon Blanc is concentrated with lovely minerality and a hint of lees/wild fermention character.
This wine is a blend of five different vineyards representing a wide range of soils (alluvial silts, gravels, clay) and micro climates. Each vineyard brings it's own unique range of flavours and texture to the finished wine.The grapes were harvested at a slightly lower brix level than last year, the fruit was very clean and packed with flavour.
The fermentation was done predominantly in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures with yeast selected to enhance the wonderful fruit-driven aromatics, 7% of the blend was fermented wild in old French oak barriques to enhance the texture of the wine and add diverse flavour elements. Enjoy now or cellar for up to four years.
Food Pairing: Wonderful with a Greek salad, some Marlborough green-lipped mussels or with any tomato-based dish.
