Dashwood Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Dry, Gooseberry, Kiwifruit

"It's gorgeously fragrant on the nose, showing kiwifruit, green apple, jalapeno and lime peel aromas. The palate displays excellent fruit purity combined with fine texture and crisp acidity, finishing long and vibrant. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2024

Classically Marlborough, our Sauvignon Blanc is balanced, crisp and lively, perfectly capturing the aromatic characters of Marlborough’s two exceptional sub-regions. Distinct and punchy with layered aromas of guava, gooseberry and citrus oil, underpinned with delicate floral and herbaceous notes. A crisp & lively palate of tropical fruits, zesty lime citrus and minerality with an elegant and energetic finish.

Dashwood embraces the natural beauty of the coastlines and unique flora and fauna that are synonymous with New Zealand. Taking inspiration from the native Pohutukawa that flowers in summertime along New Zealand’s coastlines, our wines embody the care and respect we have for our precious environment.

Grapes were selected at peak ripeness from Marlborough’s two winegrowing valleys; the Wairau Valley and the Awatere Valley. After harvest they were immediately pressed into stainless steel tanks, cold settled and then racked for fermentation. Yeast strains were selected to enhance the vibrant aromas of Sauvignon Blanc and fermentation was kept at cool temperatures to preserve fresh aromatics and fruit purity.
