Mount Vernon Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Dry, Lime, Passionfruit

"Delightfully fruited and brightly expressed, showing feijoa, kiwifruit, crunchy apple, and lemon zest aromas. The palate displays excellent vibrancy and fruit intensity, splendidly structured by juicy acidity, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2025

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. 

Crafted by the team at Lawson's Dry Hills. The 2024 vintage was a very good harvest. It was a long, dry summer and autumn, but with the characteristic cool nights, 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 cool of the early morning. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice from each block fermented separately using specially selected yeast to highlight 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, shellfish, salads, vegetarian dishes.
