Winemaker Notes
This is a well structured wine with a harmonious blend of acidity and natural grape sugars. The palate has excellent fruit intensity, with warm alcohol and an elegant, lingering finish.
Lively herbal flavors blend with refreshing citrus characters, balanced by the softer, warmer melon flavors of the Gisborne and Hawkes Bay fruit.
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.
