"At four months showing lots of flavours as Sauvignon can do when young. Crisp, fairly dry as a style and ready to refresh and satisfy beside a platter of oysters, muscles or scallops already. Will fill out a little further but the dry style with its light acid bite give it balance and ripeness for a delicious Sauvignon over summer and through 2023" Peter Saunders, Jul 2022

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is always very pale when it is young. As this wine ages, it will develop straw and green-gold tints. A melange of gooseberry, passionfruit, and nectarine backed with a touch of sweat. This is all woven together by a delightful herbal lift. This wine has a wonderfully inviting palate. It is rich and fleshy, yet retains classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc raciness. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is always at its best in the first 24 months after vintage. The wine will age gracefully for a number of years, but the aromas and flavours will change.

As always, with this label we are attempting to capture the ‘essence of Marlborough’. We have selected various parcels of fruit to craft this wine, from the different sub-regions that make up the world’s favourite growing area for the variety. Each site adds a different aspect to the finished product, thus allowing us to give you an overview of what this wonderful region can achieve with Sauvignon Blanc.

Food Pairing: Young Sauvignon Blanc is a very refreshing aperitif. It is also a great accompaniment to seafood dishes, especially mussels, oysters and squid.
