• Passionfruit
• Grapefruit
• Vibrant & intense

This deliciously vibrant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, in an off-dry style, offers intense passionfruit and gooseberry accompanied with attractive lime, grapefruit, melon and lychee notes.

The grapes for this delicious Sauvignon Blanc were grown in the highly acclaimed Awatere Valley region of Marlborough. With a lead in of an extended summer dry period, March provided the ultimate growing conditions with warm days and cool nights, enabling the fruit to have enhanced flavours while retaining acid. 2021 produced clean, healthy, flavoursome fruit.  The fruit for this wine was harvested on 29th March 2021 in immaculate condition and balance.

Fermentation was initiated with specially selected Sauvignon Blanc yeast, and proceeded in a slow controlled manner to preserve both the varietal fruitiness and its aromatic intensity. With balanced sweetness and acidity, this Vegan friendly wine was bottled on the 26th May, 2021 under screwcap.

Food Pairing: Immensely enjoyable on its own, it is also matches beautifully with a Pasta Primavera or Goat cheese.
