Mystery Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2018 (10)

Description

Dry

Pale straw colour in the glass. Tropical notes of passionfruit, grapefruit and blackcurrant combine with salty mineral notes. The palate is rich and weighty and full of flavours of grapefruit and blackcurrant along with green notes of nettle and capsicum. A subtle sea salt character leads to a long lingering mineral finish. Perfect for drinking immediately, this wine will be at its best over the next two years.

Fruit for this Mystery wine was sourced from a selection of vineyards of which the winemaker regards as Marlborough’s best sub-region for Sauvignon Blanc, producing wines with heightened expression. Each vineyard block was harvested at optimum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness. Grapes were transported to the winery quickly and pressed off immediately to minimise skin contact. After cold settling the juice from each batch was fermented at cool temperatures using selected yeast strains. Each batch was assessed for quality and only the best components were selected for this premium blend.

Food Pairing: A perfect accompaniment for any fresh seafood.
