Trout Valley Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Description

Dry, Lime, Passionfruit

A well balanced, tropical flavoured Sauvignon Blanc. Showing a good combination of tropical pineapple fruits with a hint of fresh lime, leading to a soft finish. Drink young and fresh through to 2026.

Predominantly stony alluvial soils on ancient river beds. Harvest 2023 was also a challenging season to start with. Variable fruit set and early disease pressure made it challenging work for our team out in the vineyards. It settled down with a dry, hot January, then February kicked in and was wet from start to end. March came along and the weather behaved until harvest time. We ended up with good quality fruit across all varieties and about average sized volumes. All in all, a very good year and some lovely wines to follow.
