Vidal Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Dry, Herbal, Passionfruit

"Intensely aromatic and immediately appealing, the wine shows kiwifruit, feijoa, nectarine, and lime peel aromas on the nose. It's equally attractive in the mouth, delivering terrific fruit power and persistency, finishing long and delectable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2024

Intense aromas of passionfruit, guava and freshly cut herbs lead into a flavourful, juicy palate driven by zesty acidity. A classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that is fresh, pure and persistent, reflecting the growing season and our premium vineyard sites.

Sourced from premium vineyards in the Awatere and Wairau Valleys, these sites show a range of soil types, from alluvial over a papa to silt and gravel with river stones. Attention to vine and soil health have contributed to optimum flavour and fruit condition.

This classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has produced a wine with great purity, concentration and definition.

Our Sauvignon Blanc winemaking philosophy at Vidal Estate is to produce wines that reflect where they are from and the season they were grown in, in a style that is balanced, defined and flavoursome.

Juice from gently pressed grapes was cool fermented to retain purity, flavour and aromatics. Lees ageing prior to bottling has developed mid-palate weight and texture adding to the wine’s intense fruit characters.

Food Pairing: This wine pairs well with fish, shellfish and salads.
