Mystery Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2018 (03)

Description

Dry

"Intensely aromatic and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows passionfruit, green rockmelon, lime peel and feijoa characters. The palate is equally gorgeous with bright fruit intensity and vibrant mouthfeel, finishing long and very tasty. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2019

A lifted nose showing aromas of passion fruit, white peach and grapefruit combined with refreshing herbal and mineral notes. Light bodied and refreshing, with typical Marlborough flavours of passion fruit, blackcurrant and grapefruit. A pleasing herbaceous thread leads to a long finish. Fruit was sourced from this mystery Estate's vineyard and two others within the lower Awatere and Ward areas of Southern Marlborough. Upon reaching optimum flavour, development and ripeness, the fruit was transported to the winery with haste and pressed off with minimum skin contact. The resulting juice was cool fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and zingy acidity.
