Winemaker Notes
The color is vibrant with a crisp and subtle green hue. The bouquet is of dried herb and gunflint compliment gooseberry, passionfruit and
pungent grassy aromas.
On the palate there is flaovro of lime zest and white floral notes are framed by a structured yet
supple mid palate. Mouth-watering acidity with the Awatere's
signature mineral background complete the persistent finish.
Food Matching: Panfried calamari with coriander served with sourdough bread.

Recognized for its distinctively herbaceous and aromatic, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand is perfectly suited to the grape with its maritime climate, plenty of rainfall and abundant sunshine. Producers have almost unilaterally embraced cutting-edge winery technology, resulting in clean, high-quality wines at every price point from wallet-friendly to premium. Sauvignon blanc is at its best in Marlborough but thrives throughout as the country. It is New Zealand’s most planted and successful variety, also accounting for an overwhelming majority of its exports.
