Man O' War Estate Waiheke Island Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Description

Dry

• Dry style
• Tropical fruits
• Herbaceous notes
• Racy acidity

The 2020 Sauvignon blanc is beautifully aromatic with tropical fruits married up to clean fresh herbaceous scents of cut grass and gooseberry. Coming from a warm dry vintage their Sauvignon is generous on the palate with racy acidity and a clean dry finish.

Their 2020 Estate Sauvignon blanc comes from low yielding vineyards located on the hilltops surrounded by massive basalt boulders, remnants of a long forgotten volcanic eruption. The sites are cool being tempered by elevation and crisp sea breezes and they also have a unique volcanic make up to their soils. Their Sauvignon blanc is entirely hand harvested and gently pressed to tank for settling. The clear juice is then racked to another tank and inoculated with selected yeast. A long cool fermentation followed before blending and bottling in early spring.

Food Pairing: Perfect with seafood or light Italian dishes.
