Winemaker Notes
One of the great Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc vintages - how can you get this any better? Its classical with that distinctive nose of fresh herbs, nettles, guava, crushed red currant leaf and just a hint of passionfruit. The palate is full and textured, refreshingly crisp and "taut" with a lingering dry mineral after taste. Elegant, sophisticated and cerebral Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, true to its Loire roots.
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.
