Description
"Bright, very pale straw colour with slight green hues, near colourless. The nose is softly full and voluminous with refined, but intensely packed aromas of pungent passionfruit, tropical fruit and fresh herbs, unfolding subtle notes of white florals and minerals. This is an expression of finesse. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate is rich with full and softly concentrated pungent passionfruit and tropical fruit flavours along with fresh herbs and florals. The palate is refreshing and mouthwatering with crisp acidity lending linearity, and the wine flows along a very fine phenolic line, leading to a long finish of herbs and minerals. This is a refined, but rich and intensely packed Sauvignon Blanc with passionfruit, herb and floral flavours and a crisp mouthfeel. Serve with seafood, salads and vegetables and Asian cuisine over the next 2 years. Fruit from three sites, in the Lower Wairau, Middle Wairau and Awatere Valley, fermented in stainless-steel to 13.0% alc. and 3 g/L RS, the wine aged 3 months on light lees" Raymond Chan, Oct 2018
"This is a fabulous expression of the variety, showing fragrant aromas of passionfruit, feijoa, green rockmelon and lime zest on the nose, leading to wonderfully flavoured palate that is pristine and lively. The wine offers terrific fruit intensity and purity, superbly supported by refreshing acidity, making it immensely delicious. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2018
Delicious zesty fruit meets gorgeous minerality. A generously concentrated palate with white fleshy stone fruits, fresh lime & tropical lusciousness. Fantastic balance with a home run of juicy acidity & a lasting textural finish.
This Mystery Sauvignon Blanc was stylishly created by an award winning winemaker. Inspired by eco conscious fashionistas this Marlborough wine collaborates pureness & sensuality. Passionfruit verve infused with lavish condiments of fresh lime, lemon & capsicum. Classic confidence & sexy femininity… this natural pedigree will give you more than a whiff of romance.
