Crowded House Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016 (duplicate)

Description

Dry

A drought summer for Marlborough resulted in low crops and fruit with excellent concentration of fl avour.  The 2015 wine is quintessentially Marlborough in profi le with bright aromas of guava, citrus fruits, black currant and sweet crushed herbs. The palate is elegantly proportioned with lovely soft acid carrying the fruit fl avours to a long, pure finish.

Enjoy with fresh seafood, Summer salads and fine Asian cuisine.

A blend of vineyards taking in the Wairau Valley and Southern Valleys subregions of Marlborough.

Harvest commenced on March 21st and was completed on April 5th in 2015. Fruit was 100% machine picked, the juice settled and then inoculated for cool fermentation in stainless steel vessels to retain aromatic purity. The wine was allowed to develop unsulphured on lees for 6-8 weeks post fermentation to develop aromatic nuance and texture.
