Description

Dry

• Off-dry style

Opens with an enticingly fresh bouquet of ripe citrus, passionfruit and aromatic herbs, the palate has excellent fruit weight and drive with punchy flavours of gooseberry, passionfruit and a squeeze of lemon.

This Central Otago grown Sauvignon Blanc is made to display classic Sauvignon herbaceousness, a touch of tropical fruit and a textural structure only seen in Central Otago Sauvignon Blanc. It is something a little different. The wine is full and textural in the mouth and has long lasting flavour. Handpicked and whole bunch pressed this is a small batch wine. Wild yeast fermentation, extended lees contact, and a small portion fermented in barrel gives the wine the texture and length we are looking for.
