"This is intensely aromatic on the nose with kiwifruit, green rock melon, kaffir lime and feijoa aromas. The palate is equally satisfying, displaying excellent weight and persistency, well supported by juicy acidity with a lengthy delectable finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2021

This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc appeals with its delightful aromas of citrus and herbaceous greens with lemongrass. The palate shows rockmelon with a long and crisp finish.

The grapes were machine harvested and pressed, with the juice settled and then racked to stainless steel tanks. The juice was inoculated with two different yeasts and went through a controlled cool fermentation. The wine spent a little time on lees post ferment, and was then stabilised and cross flow filtered before being prepared for bottling. The growing season was early and dry with smaller, more concentrated berries, packed with lots of flavour.

How does one bring about the best in what they achieve? For every Lake Road specialty vintage, it is with a steadfast focus to do what is right every step of the way. From the dedication of the viticulturist producing exceptional quality grapes, to the instinctive ingenuity of the vintner to create outstanding wines that allows them to continue to deliver excellence on the world stage. This is what sets Lake Road above the rest.
