"A cross-regional blend in 2020. Layered, complex aromas of pineapple, lemon, pear, sage, wet stones. Crisp, mouthwatering acidity and flavours of citrus and tropical fruits. Well made and balanced, satin texture and a long finish" Cameron Douglas MS, Decanter, Mar 2021

Passionfruit, nectarine and lemongrass parade before the beholder. Gentle scents of green herb and flamboyant tropical fruit arrive on the scene while a light-footed streak of crisp vibrancy departs side stage.

The Leftfield Sauvignon Blanc is a unique blend of vineyards located in the Nelson, Hawkes Bay, and Marlborough regions. These vineyards have delivered clean, concentrated, and balanced fruit jampacked with classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc flavours. The fruit was gently crushed and pressed, and the clear juice was run off for a cool ferment with yeast chosen to highlight the punchy aromatics of this variety. After a short period of ageing on lees, the wine was blended and bottled.

Food Pairing: Imbibe on its own or devour with seafood such as grilled prawns and fresh lemon.
