Winemaker Notes
Lemon in color with a full aromatic display of citrus, tropical fruits, straw, and oak complexity. The palate is smooth with fresh acidity and long mineral phenolics. Ripe fruit flavours unfold throughout.

COMMENTARY: The 2020 Grey's Peak Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc is generous and lasting on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of chalk, ripe citrus peel, earthy notes, and herbs. Try it with grilled, wild-caught salmon fillets. (Tasted: July 27, San Francisco, CA)
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.
