Description

Dry

• Dry style
• Mandarin & melon
• Herbs & pepper
• Zesty drive

"A moderately restrained yet floral nose, a little atypical but attractive, lifted aromas of honeysuckle, honeydew, apple cider and even a touch of butterscotch. A full, soft-textured, luscious, fleshy palate with good weight and yeast-lees richness, is balanced by a chalky texture and citrus freshness. A commercially appealing style offering great everyday drinking" NZ Wine Rater, Nov 2021

Room-filing aromas of black currant, mandarin and grapefruit rise from the glass to be joined by complexing tropical notes and sweet herbs. The entry is fresh and juicy with layers of lime, passionfruit , rock melon, blackcurrant and a touch of red bell-pepper on the finish. Sweet ripeness rides through the palate complimented perfectly by a zesty drive and real focus. Medium weight and good breadth.

100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes from several vineyards situated throughout Marlborough. 

Grapes were machine harvested from the 20th of March to the 5th of April. Grapes were crushed and de-stemmed followed by fermentation at 12-21ºC in stainless steel tanks with the wine then being filtered and fined before bottling.

Food Pairing: The perfect partner for seafood.
