Enjoy the full array of flavours that Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is renowned for just with a lower alcohol content. Lifted and refreshing exhibiting flavours of ripe stonefruit, lime juice, kiwifruit and citrus. A medium bodied wine with a long fruit-driven finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe Toi Toi Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from three Marlborough vineyards, each of which bring their own expression to the wine; Brookdale Vineyard in the Southern Valley’s, Utawai Vineyard nearer to the coast and Loddon Lane Vineyard in the Upper Wairau Valley. Grapes are harvested in the cool of evening to help retain fruit purity and flavours. Each vineyard is picked progressively as it reaches optimum ripeness which provides multiple flavour profiles with which to craft our wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIn the winery the wine is given 2-3 hrs of skin contact and then gently pressed. This helps add structure to the wine and no fining means we retain more of the grape’s natural flavours. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with an array of yeasts; some to enhance aromatics and some to provide savoury notes, weight and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTo create a lower in alcohol wine, the important factor isn’t taking away – it’s ensuring the flavour stays. It’s all in the fruit selection. We select fruit with bright aromatic qualities and varietal intensity. When the alcohol is reduced in the winemaking process, these notes and flavors are retained, as is the zesty and refreshing mouthfeel of the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"ToiToi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49488354443581,"sku":null,"price":89.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/19422-1.jpg?v=1729032542","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/toi-toi-lifestyle-marlborough-lighter-alcohol-sauvignon-blanc-2021","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
