Hãhã Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Apple, Dry, Pineapple

"Fresh and gorgeously aromatic, the wine shows kiwifruit, crunchy apple, pineapple and lime peel aromas, leading to a brilliantly flavoursome palate offering terrific fruit power and juicy fruit intensity. It's lively and exuberant, offering fabulous drinking. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2024

"A classic bouquet and palate filled with scents and flavours of lemon and passionfruit, apple and mango. There’s a line of fresh bell-pepper that turns into jalapeno on the palate accentuated by a refreshing acid line. Flavours of apples and citrus along with tropical fruits follow. Well made, just dry and ready from day of purchase through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2024

Erupting with vibrant aromas of tropical passionfruit, fresh herbs, and lime zest. These are followed through on the palate with layers of delicious fruit, citrus drive, and a juicy finish.

Our Sauvignon Blanc is mainly grown in the Wairau Valley sub-region of Marlborough, which is known for the riper, tropical fruit flavours. A small portion of the
blend is grown in the cooler Awatere Valley, which adds the more mineral and herbaceous characters to the wine.

Marlborough experienced an exceptional growing season in 2024. Lower than normal yields were the result of early spring frosts, cooler temperatures during flowering and prolonged dry conditions, however the Summer weather was hot and dry and the grapes were outstanding in quality when harvest time came around in March. The resulting wine is showing the powerful flavours and vibrant acidity that Marlborough wines are world-renowned for.

Harvested in the cool hours of the morning, the grapes were pressed immediately on arrival to the winery. After fermentation the wine is carefully blended, filtered and bottled early to capture the fresh flavours.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with a platter of juicy barbequed garlic prawns served with a fresh salad of tomato, olives, feta, and basil.
