Wairau River Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Description

Dry, Grapefruit, Oak

This is a complex wine in which an intense tropical fruit spectrum, with underlying hints of floral spice, is balanced by a chalky, mineral and citrus influenced palate. The finish is long, poised and elegant, classically focused with a fine vein of acidity.

Our Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a slightly different take on this classic variety. Old vines from our Home vineyard give us the fruit for this wine every year, the quality of fruit from these old vines is always a bit mind blowing. We hand harvest the fruit, and a portion is fermented in old French oak to give texture and weight, and gives the wine agebility - for up to 10 years! This is a real food wine and it's a stunning match with creamy seafood dishes.
