Falconhead Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Description

Dry

• Dry style
• Tropical fruit
• Herbal aromas
• Lively acidity

Ripe scented tropical fruit and herbal aromatics lead into a salivating saline palate, with lively acid surrounding a core of fresh citrus fruit flavours. This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared for up to 3 years.

The grapes for this wine were harvested in our Marlborough vineyard and transported to a contract facility for dejuicing and settling.  The clear juice was transported by road tanker to our Katikati winery where it was fermented in stainless steel tanks at around 14°C using Zymaflore X5 yeast strain. Following fermentation, the wine was blended, protein stabilized, cold stabilized and filtered.

Food Pairing: Shellfish and fish or summer salads, or drink with roast pork and apple sauce.

Contains sulphites.
