"A gorgeously expressed Sauvignon; the wonderfully fragrant bouquet shows passionfruit, feijoa, kaffir lime and green apple characters, leading to an intensely flavoursome palate that delivers excellent power and length. Mouthfilling and lively. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2020

The Faultline Reserve is crisp and fresh with vibrant aromas of fragrant ripe grapefruit. Well-balanced acidity and refreshing tropical notes, flavours of passionfruit and gooseberry with a subtle herbal thread and salty minerality, leading to a long lingering finish.

Fruit for this wine was sourced from several vineyards within Marlborough, predominantly in the lower Wairau sub-region.  The fruit was carefully monitored during ripening and after harvest the juice was pressed off immediately to minimise skin contact and juice deterioration. Fermentation took place in 100 per cent stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain aromatics and fresh fruit flavour.

Food Pairing: Enjoy it on its own or perfectly matched with garlic prawns.
