W5 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Description

Apple, Dry, Feijoa

"It's pristine and gorgeously aromatic with passionfruit, lime zest, Granny Smith apple and lemon peel notes, leading to a wonderfully expressed palate that's packed with vibrant fruit flavours with beautifully pitched acidity, finishing superbly long and delicious. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2023

This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has elegant aromas of tropical passionfruit and feijoa combined with subtle hints of jalapeno. Layers of gooseberry and tropical fruit stonefruit combine with intense herbaceous and salty characters to provide exceptional length and intensity.

Grapes for this delicious Sauvignon Blanc were sourced predominantly in the lower Wairau sub region. Grapes were transported to the winery quickly and pressed off immediately to minimize skin content. It was then fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and aromatics.

Food Pairing: Perfect for immediate drinking on its own or a terrific match for seared tuna with soy and red chilies.
