Beautiful sub-tropical aromas of passionfruit and snow peas mingle with saline notes and hints of capsicum and guava. The palate continues with vibrant sub-tropical fruit flavours, a lovely length and a creamy mid palate. Partial barrel ferment gives a rich, textured wine, making it a delicious, smooth style of Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit for this Sauvignon Blanc comes from our vineyards on the Martinborough Terrace and Ruakokoputuna. Yields from our Martinborough Terrace vineyards here are typically low, giving the wine intensity, richness and lower acidity which regulates crops ensuring consistently ripe, high-quality grapes are harvested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet, overcast weather pervaded much of the growing season. While we didn’t receive the worst of the weather like other areas of New Zealand, we were still peppered with rain throughout the season. Lots of hard work in the vineyard tending to excessive grass and canopy growth was needed to see us through a challenging season. Overall the wines are looking balanced and elegant. Our Sauvingon Blanc is full of vibrancy and drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe gently press the grapes and cool ferment the juice in a mix of stainless steel vats and neutral, older French oak barrels to enhance the classic Sauvignon Blanc fruit characters. The barrel portion adds texture, balance and increased complexity to the finished wine whilst the tank fermented portion gives it vibrancy and fruitiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49488561144125,"sku":"MVSB23ANH1E","price":149.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/23955-1.jpg?v=1729034116","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/martinborough-vineyard-home-block-martinborough-sauvignon-blanc-2023","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
