Description
Pale straw colour in the glass. Powerful and intense aromas of ripe tropical fruits, grapefruit blossom and underlying green capsicum. Intense and focused Sauvignon Blanc with powerful herbaceous characters. The palate is rich with flavours of passionfruit and grapefruit. Subtle hints of salt and chalky minerality add complexity to the palate creating a long, lingering finish. Drinking beautifully now and may also be enjoyed over the next one to two years.
The young age of the vines that the grapes for this wine were grown on and extremely healthy canopy has resulted in the presence of intense herbaceous characters. This vineyard is situated on free-draining fertile alluvial soils which also contribute tropical and capsicum characters and high intensity of flavour.
The fruit was sourced from a single vineyard on the fertile, free draining soils of the lower Wairau Valley. The fruit was carefully monitored during ripening and harvested in the cool of the evening at optimum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.
The juice was pressed off immediately to minimize skin contact and juice deterioration following harvesting. After settling, the juice was fermented using a variety of selected yeast in 100 percent stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain fruit flavor and freshness. This batch was selected as a Pioneer Block wine due to its power and intensity of flavor.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with fresh seafood, vegetarian cuisine or a seasonal salad.

Quite an acidic Sauvignon block. Tastes better from the second glass.
