Invivo X SJP Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Dry, Melon, Passionfruit

"It's immediately enticing on the nose, showing rockmelon, kaffir lime, crunchy apple and fresh fig aromas, followed by a succulent palate delivering terrific fruit purity and intensity. Wonderfully fruited and flavoursome with a lengthy, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2024

The Invivo X, SJP 2024 has an intensly focused nose of freshly cut limes and ripe cantaloupe melons. The palate gains the body and power of the rock melon but retains perfectly balanced acidity from the lime. There are hints of passion fruit and pineapple that also add complexity. The palate has a driving, ethereal minerality yet is saturated with fruit.

Invivo X, SJP is a beautiful yet unique style of Sauvignon Blanc that is soft with a subtle oak influence. Late harvesting, a little bit of skin contact, some time in French barriques and hogsheads all contribute to its distinctive flavor profile and smooth mouth-feel. This highly acclaimed wine has been awarded 90+ points by Wine Spectator and James Suckling for its first five vintages.

For vintage 2024, Invivo and SJP made their sixth blend together at the iconic Citi Field stadium, home to the NY Mets, in New York. Invivo winemakers Tim and Rob transformed the special space into a temporary winery for a day!
