Winemaker Notes
Aroma: Passionfruit, Cape gooseberries and lime abound. With added complexities of toasty oak.
Palate: An explosion of flavour. Ripe Sauvignon Blanc balanced with oak and mealiness. A powerful wine with complexity and persistence of flavour.
A new direction for Sauvignon Blanc. This wine shows the untapped potential of New Zealands best grape variety.
Food match: Full flavoured foods, especially seafood, white meat and asparagus.
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.
