Description

Dry, Floral, Gooseberry

"Offering terrific fruit purity and power, the wine showcases passionfruit, nectarine, kiwifruit, and lime zest aromas, followed by an intensely flavoursome palate that's vibrant and lively. A wonderful rendition with loads of classic sauvignon flavours, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2031" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is elegantly full, with aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, guava, snow peas and jalapeno. Medium-bodied, aromas of passionfruit and pineapple, entwined with guava, snow pea and a touch of jalapeno. The fruit is lush and crunchy with purity; zingy, fresh acidity flows with softness, carrying fine-textured phenolics to a salivating, enticing finish. An excellent, refined Sauvignon Blanc" Candice Chow, 

"An excellent wine, a pungent and powerful bouquet packed with aromas and flavours of lemon and green mango, hibiscus flowers and tangerine, pineapple and grapefruit. Dry, salivating, salty and delicious on the palate. Urgent and refreshing with a crunchy texture, a lingering mineral-saline complexity and persistent fruit flavours that speak to Marlborough and the ‘Convergence’ style. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2031" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommellier 

“Grapefruit, lime and gooseberry on the nose, layered with nettle, slate and a cool herbal edge. Concentrated and generous on the palate, with tropical depth balanced by citrus energy. Flavours of crunchy green apple, young pineapple, wet stone, and a salty snap, then a long, mouthwatering finish. Built for seafood & sunshine!” Sammy Wilkinson, The Wine Writer

"“With a hefty splash of the blend being fermented in a concrete egg fermenter and another portion fermented in a large clay amphora, this Sauvignon is all about as textural as you could possibly imagine. Brand new, yet delivering deliciously calm, assured aromas of greengage plums, apples, crushed basil and lemongrass, which lead to a palate awash with gentle stonefruit, lemon zest, a lick of leafiness and soft prickles of white pepper and quartzy minerality. Sourced from vineyards located in Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere valleys, this wine is a blend, a meeting point, a ‘convergence’ of those two styles working together in tasty fashion. Fresh, lusciously generous and deserves to be in your fridge asap!”" Yvonne Lorkin

An enticing bouquet of bright capsicum, crisp snow peas, and luscious passionfruit, all beautifully enhanced by fresh mint, zesty lime, and refreshing cucumber. The palate is well-balanced, a superb, juicy character that amplifies its vibrancy and energy. A subtle mineral backbone enriches the mid-palate, evoking the region’s unique terroir. Light, stony mineral nuances and a saline, salty edge enhance its textural finesse. This vintage stands out with its exceptional purity and balance. This captivating wine blends the rich flavours from our Wairau and Awatere Valleys, showcasing finesse, freshness, and an alluring complexity.

The name ‘Convergence’ symbolises the seamless fusion flavours from our Wairau and Awatere Valley vineyards of the distinct flavour profiles from these two riverside regions, crafting a true representation of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Lightly pressed, the juice was fermented cool, predominately in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and distinctive varietal character. A small portion was fermented in concrete egg tank ,clay amphora, and Cuves to add a grainy texture to the palate. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for four months to gain complexity and increase mouthfeel.
