Description

"It is instantly likable on the nose showing nectarine, green rockmelon, feijoa and lime zest aromas. The palate delivers excellent vibrancy and juicy mouthfeel, brilliantly supported by refreshing acidity. The wine offers youthful charm and lovely fruit purity, finishing long and attractive. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2017

The Dashwood's Sauvignon Blanc style is bright, forward and direct. Vivaciously crisp, it showcases gooseberry, citrus and fresh tropical fruit flavours that linger through the finish. Their 2017 Sauvignon Blanc is an aromatic delight. Scents of passionfruit, mango and lime lead to layers of tropical flavours accented by gooseberry. The texture is full yet offers a refreshing, crisp acidity.

Marlborough is a special place for wine. Perhaps it’s the cloudless skies or mild temperatures or well-drained soils. It could be the long growing season or Dashwood's sustainably-farmed vineyards. Whatever the reason, the result Dashwod believer is wines that are marked by piercingly vibrant fruit flavours and lively acidity. With every step of the winemaking process Dashwood's goal is to preserve these incredible aromatics and scintillating structure. After harvesting, they keep the fruit as cool as possible to retain bright, fresh Marlborough fruit flavours. Gentle crushing and cold fermentations help to preserve the personality of the variety and the influence of the site. with the Sauvignon Blanc in particular this is further sustained by keeping it in stainless steel tanks to maintain zesty fruit characteristics.
