Petal & Stem Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Mineral, Passionfruit

The nose is lifted with citrus aromas of lime and grapefruit, fresh herbs, tropical fruits and blackcurrant bud. The palate shows flavours of tropical fruits, balanced by a crisp citrus acidity and a subtle minerality to help create great length.

Journey into the wildflowers, a secret world between the vines, where insects dance from petal to stem, a flourishing ecosystem amongst the rows. It’s all part of the bigger picture to protect our vines and keep pests away naturally. So as you’re busy enjoying this wine, remember our little friends between the flowers who help us to do things both differently, and beautifully.

2025 was a season of generosity, both in the vineyard and in the glass. An excellent flowering set the stage for the season, followed by a classic Indian summer. Warm but not excessive heat, combined with well-timed rainfall kept canopies healthy, and supported even, steady ripening. A cooler spell in January was followed by optimal conditions through late summer and early autumn, with warm days and cool nights enhancing flavour development and acid retention. Vintage 2025 has delivered wines with both weight and finesse, showcasing vibrant aromatics, purity of flavour, and the hallmark expression we strive for.

Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc from our Marlborough vineyards were used to craft this wine. At the winery, the individual parcels of fruit were gently pressed and clarified. The clear juice was then fermented separately using a range of selected yeasts. A long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks helps to retain the vibrant, fresh characters Sauvignon Blanc is known for. After fermentation the wine was blended, stabilised, and filtered in preparation for bottling.

Food Pairing: This wine matches nicely with grilled Halloumi with herb & lemon dressing, goats cheese tart, grilled chicken with chimichurri, pulled pork taco with pineapple salsa, or ceviche. Suitable for a Vegetarian, Vegan and gluten free diet. Rrink now, or cellar up to 2 years.
