River Delta Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Description

Dry

• Dry style
• Gooseberry
• Passionfruit
• Lingering finish

Fresh aromas of gooseberry, passionfruit and fresh lime zest. An intense flavoured palate with layers of fresh gooseberry, passionfruit & subtle minerality. The weighty palate has a long and lingering finish. 

The fruit was sourced from a selection of vineyards across Marlborough's fertile Wairau Valley area, including the iconic Dillons Point region. Each vineyard's yield was carefully managed and fruit monitored throughout the growing season. The grapes were harvested upon reaching the desired flavour spectrum and maturity.

2021 was a fantastic vintage, with a small crop of intensly flavoured grapes.

The grapes were machine harvested and transported promptly to the winery to be lightly pressed. The juice was lightly settled, then cool fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks, in order to retain the vibrant fresh flavours and intense aromatics. Heather (winemaker) carefully selected her preferred blend prior to final bottling.
