  • Dry style
  • Zesty citrus
  • Ripe acidity
  • Passionfruit & gooseberry

"Pungently aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with lime, gooseberry, wet stone and mineral. Taut, high-energy wine, with impressive purity and deliciously ripe, fruity acidity driving a lengthy finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2019

"Powerful and varietally pure, this impressive offering shows passionfruit, feijoa, kiwifruit and lemon peel aromas on the nose, leading to a fabulously expressed palate that is succulent and lingering. It’s punchy and delicious with a lengthy mouth-watering finish. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2019

Bright straw with green hues, this classy Sauvignon Blanc has an abundance of bell pepper, fennel and crushed tomato leaf aromas that mingle with subtle notes of tangelo, snow pea and nettle. Dry and saline, persistent flavours of zesty citrus and grapefruit pith are revealed alongside bright, mouthwatering acidity. The flinty yet lively palate has a lovely creamy texture and a juicy smooth finish.

After a beautifully warm but excessively dry summer, harvest began three weeks early. It was a stunning vintage with pristine fruit, small berries, and great concentration.
Harvested early morning and lightly pressed, this juice was fermented cool, predominately in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and character. A small portion was fermented in concrete egg tank to add a grainy texture to the palate. Both portions were aged on light yeast lees for three months to gain complexity and increase mouthfeel.

The name Convergence signifies the coming together of flavours from our Wairau and Awatere valley vineyards.

Food Pairing: A great match with Pacific or Asian fare.
