Peter Yealands Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Description
Lifted notes of white peach and passionfruit, underpinned with citrus. The palate is full with pure fruit flavours, yet balanced with a long crisp citrus finish.
Food Match: Enjoy with both fresh and cooked seafood such as oysters, prawns mussels or fish.
The 2016 growing season started out incredibly dry, with some predicting a severe drought. Fortunately some unseasonal rains in February set the vines up for a great final ripening period. March and April were very consistent, with warm and dry weather experienced throughout Marlborough allowing a harvest that wasn’t dictated by the weather. All varieties were able to be picked at optimal ripeness and in good time. Conditions over the flowering period were stable creating nice even crop levels in the vineyards which translated into wines with great concentration and texture. The Sauvignon Blanc from this vintage is showing the wonderful typicity that the Awatere Valley is known for -highly aromatic fruit flavours of blackcurrant leaf and citrus blossom with a vibrant palate that is pure with an elegant mineral finish.
