"Delightfully styled and inviting, the bouquet shows grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, nectarine and lemon peel aromas, leading to a vibrant palate that's juicy and persistent. It's texturally attractive with lovely mid-palate weight, finishing long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
The Sauvignon Blanc shows aromas of citrus characters with a hint of dried herbs. Weighted texture on the palate is resulted from ageing on lees, enhancing the minerality and flint notes supported by its mouthwatering acidity backbone.
The Sauvignon Blanc is produced from the Te Awanga Estate vineyard. The free draining shingle soils give fantastic quality grapes for this wine. Harvest of the Sauvignon Blanc generally takes place early to retain good acidity. The fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed and fermented with indigenous yeast in stainless-steel tank. The wine was then blended and retained on fine lees for 9 months to enhance texture and complexity. The winewas bottled on 5th March 2018.
Food Pairing: Match with seafood or poultry dishes.
