Description
This bold and powerful Mystery wine has aromatics of ripe citrus fruit with layers of pink grapefruit and passionfruit on the nose. The bouquet is clean but textured, showing lifted notes and freshness. Medium bodied, the core is firm and concentrated with zesty citrus, snow peas, nettle and grapefruit melded with layers of passionfruit. The finish is fresh and long with mouth wateringly attractive acid. On the whole this Mystery wine can be described as dry wine with less than 1 g/l of residual sugar.
The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc were sourced from a single vineyard grown on this Mystery vineyard's estate. The vines in this area planted in 2001, and grew under sustainable viticulture approved sites. The 2016 vintage was a long one, leading to a fantastic autumn for extended ripening. Being harvested in one batch gave the fruit optimum ripeness and flavour. Once harvested the grapes received gentle pressing before being cold settled overnight. A cool fermentation in 100% stainless steel ensured the retention of the juice's pristine ripe flavours. This lasted approximately for 4 weeks. As per the policy of this Mystery vineyard's policy no animal products were used making it vegan appropriate.
Food Pairing: Match with herb-marinated seafood or poultry served alongside fresh, crisp summer salads and seasonal vegetables

Very happy with this Mystery Sav. Excellent vintage from a well known winery that's based in Hawkes Bay. Drinking well now with plenty of body.
