Black Market Mystery Wines™ are simply wines we love, with the branding hidden and revealed only when it arrives at your door!"Pungent and fruity, varietal and classic with aromas and flavours of tropical fruits and citrus, white peach and fresh grassy herbaceous qualities. Some gooseberry and nettles suggestions emerge as the wine settles on the palate with the back bone of acidity to carry fruit and freshness. Ideal summer 2023 drinking and through end of 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
Pale green in the glass. The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc has an elegant and structured palate, with intense aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest and a hint of sea salt. An intense and weighty palate showing textural layers of tropical fruits, fresh citrus peel with a crisp, mineral finish.
Selected from a single vineyard in the Dillons Point area of Marlborough. Close to the ocean, this sub-region experiences long hot days balanced by the effect of cooling sea breezes at night.
The 2022 vintage started with cool spring weather which extended the length of flowering, leading to open bunches. A long and hot growing season led to lower crop levels with increased intensity of expressive tropical characteristics. Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, the fruit was continually monitored until a balance of flavour, acidity and physiological ripeness was reached.
During a cool evening, the vineyard was machine harvested and the grapes quickly transported to the winery where they were destemmed and pressed. After settling, the juice was fermented at cool temperatures and racked off lees quickly to retain the vibrant fruit flavours and freshness of this Sauvignon Blanc.
Food Pairing: An ideal match with pan-fried scallops, soft Goat’s cheese or Marlborough mussels.
