Description
"The wine is beautifully lifted on the nose showing grapefruit, nectarine, green apple and lime zest characters. The palate delivers lovely pristine fruit flavours and fine texture, together with bright acidity, leading to a lengthy crisp finish. Varietaly expressive and immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2018: Sam Kim Wine Orbit
This is a classical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc; all pungent, guava, lemon thyme, passionfruit and grapefruit aromas. On the palate ripe tropical fruits, fresh ‘juicy’ mouth feel, lingering fruity finish and strong personality. It’s a sophisticated Marlborough savvy, a wine that begs a second sip.
The wine is grown from several sites in Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere river valleys. Here each vineyard is harvested more than once, all fruit fermented separately and then blended to taste to achieve maximum flavour.
Vintage 2016 in Marlborough proved both kindly and abundant for the grape grower. Ideal growing conditions throughout the summer were followed by a dry, sunny and temperate Autumn, through to an early April harvest. This was indeed fortunate, as Marlborough, some what surprisingly, experience a very abundant vintage. What surprised us was that final crop weights (ton/Ha) were up not because of excess of berries per bunch; but rateher the final size, each berry grew too! The ideal Autumn conditions allowed for a leisurely harvest, determined by the flavour development of each variety in our different vineyards.
