Mount Vernon Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Description

Dry

• Dry style
• Lemongrass
• Passionfruit
• Juicy acidity

This wine is a very pure expression of a clean, crisp Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Pronounced aromas of freshly cut grass, lime zest, lemongrass and passionfruit lead to a delicious, juicy palate of good fruit concentration, lovely citrus flavours and a crisp, dry finish. Enjoy while young and fruity – over the next 12-24 months.

The 2023 vintage was a very good harvest for us. While spring and summer had some reasonable rainfall, late summer and autumn were warm and dry which resulted in a long, slow ripening period. This gave us ripe, flavoursome grapes with lovely concentration and balance.

Each vineyard block was picked individually in the early morning. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice from each block fermented separately using specially selected yeast to enhance the wine’s fruity character. After fermentation, we selected the best tanks for blending to create this wine.

Food Pairing: Perfect as a refreshing glass of wine on its own, or enjoy with seafood, salads, vegetarian dishes, Asian-inspired cuisine or as a contrast to soft cheeses.
