Description
Fruit was sourced from several prime vineyard sites in Marlborough’s Southern
Valleys and the central Wairau Plains (specifically Woodbourne, Renwick and Rapaura). Soil
types vary from the young alluvial soils of Rapaura and Renwick, which contain high proportions of New Zealand’s ubiquitous greywacke river stones, to the older and denser clay-loams of the Southern Valleys.
Harvested under the cool night skies, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes were lightly pressed and cold-settled before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Extended lees ageing added depth and a creamy texture to the wine, which was bottled with meticulous attention to detail to preserve its fresh, vibrant character.
Tasting Note: Picture a summer picnic table – vases of white blossom, a vibrant salad of
aromatic herbs with soft, yellow peach, crunchy pear and a squeeze of juicy lime; apricot
sponge cake and custard tarts – a sweet-scented array of ripe deliciousness. On the palate,
flavours of honeydew melon and white nectarine mingle with savoury notes of crushed seashells and a hint of chalky minerality. A fruit-driven Marlborough style with generosity and weight, it delivers a luscious sense of ripeness that finishes with a mouth-watering lemon-sherbet zing.
Pairing Suggestions: Perfect with goat’s cheese, fresh oysters, asparagus risotto, or Thai green curry. Its zesty freshness complements aromatic and creamy dishes beautifully.
