WINEMAKER’S COMMENT
We purposefully made this wine to tradition, jam packed with herbal nettle notes, full of flavour with a punchy finish. It is almost translucent in colour with bright green hues; the nose is bursting with delightful tropical notes, blackcurrant, and citrus aromas. The palate is crisp and clean with well-balanced natural acidity to finish. Underlying lime and
citrus on the palate is elegant but gives fantastic length, with a little sweetness on the palate to finish.
VINEYARD & WINEMAKING
The fruit was sourced from predominantly the Awatere Valley sub region. The vines trained to vertical shoot positioning to ensure even colour and flavour development through the ripening period. The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night and pressed once it was received into the winery. Vintage 2013 in Marlborough was stunning. It was New Zealand’s biggest harvest in many years. The warm dry season produced above average yields, and was perfect condition to produce high quality, beautiful Sauvignon Blanc.
WINE AND FOOD
Seafood such as Green Lipped mussels from the Marlborough Sounds, scallops, and crayfish best compliment this Sauvignon Blanc.
