"Intensely aromatic on the nose showing green rockmelon, crunchy apple, lime zest and feijoa characters, followed by a gorgeously expressed palate that's filled with delectable fruit flavours" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020

This Sauvignon Blanc, from such a great vintage, delivers everything you’d hope for from this classic Marlborough varietal. Citrus and passionfruit aromatics leap from the glass and the palate has wonderful tropical, grapefruit and lime flavours balanced by fresh herbaceous notes. Juicy and succulent with a supple texture and good length of flavour, this wine has lovely balance and a refreshing dry finish.

What a superb vintage! A great growing season culminated in hot and dry weather with higher than average temperatures right through till April. This resulted in juicy, ripe flavours although the grapes retained a lovely balance of acidity.

They aim to pick each of the Sauvignon Blanc vineyard blocks as the flavours reach their maximum. This wine is made from grapes that displayed excellent aromatics and concentrated flavours. After machine-harvesting in the cool of the early morning and careful destemming and pressing, the free run and lightly-pressed juice was cold settled for 48 hours. It was then racked and inoculated with a selected yeast strain to maintain the wine’s freshness and fruit characters.

The Sisters is a proud and committed supporter of Dress for Success. Wine by Lawson’s Dry Hills made at their own vineyards. 100% certified sustainable and carbon-zero.

Food Pairing: Although ideal as a refreshing glass of wine on its own, this Sauvignon Blanc is perfect paired with seafood, salads, Asian-inspired flavours and much more.
