Description

Dry

• Dry style
• Honeydew
• Passionfruit pulp

Pale lime to pale straw. An abundance of tropical fruit, including passionfruit pulp and honeydew, leap from the glass. The palate is as succelent as it is fresh. A fantastic reminder of the sheer enjoyment and liveliness this region can produce.

Marlborough is renowned for aromatic whites and Pinot Noir. The parcels of Wild Rock's Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are sourced from premium vineyards in Marlborough, with rich alluvial soil creating wines with great depth and fruit intensity. The Marlborough region covers cooler and drier inland sites as well as earlier ripening vineyards that are more exposed to the sea breeze of the coast, all expressing pure and intensely flavoured grapes of exceptional quality.

2021 was very cool, wet spring resulting in low crops, however fantastic weather post veraison. Wines and energetic and flavoursome.

Fermented in stainless steel tanks with maturation taking place over 3 months.
