Yealands Estate Single Block S1 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Description

Blackcurrant, Dry, Nectarine

The nose is pure and expressive showing vibrant herbal and blackcurrant leaf notes, with underlying ripe citrus notes. Our S1 Sauvignon Blanc is elegant and textural, it shows great concentration and length, with a mineral finish. Enjoy now, or cellar 2-4 years.

Our S1 block Sauvignon Blanc comes from a sun soaked site, moderated by cool, coastal breezes on our Seaview Vineyard. The subsequent style and flavours reflect this terroir, with flavours of ripe nectarine and a lush, full palate balanced by mouth-watering mineral acidity.

The carefully harvested fruit from our S1 block was destemmed, chilled and gently pressed. The juice was cold settled for 72 hours, after which the clear juice was racked off. A long, cool fermentation with a specialist Sauvignon Blanc yeast followed to capture and enhance the distinctive fruit flavours created by the S1 block. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was racked, stabilised and filtered before bottling.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with both fresh and cooked seafood dishes including freshly shucked oysters, prawns, green lipped mussels and creamy scallops.
