Winemaker Notes
Straw colour with hints of green tints. The nose shows rich, ripe, aromas of passionfruit, peaches and lychee. The oak is supportive of the fruit, but not dominant. A broad full-bodied palate which has weight, texture and length.
This wine is ready to drink now or over the next three years. Fruit-dominant with subtle oak, this wine goes well with food such as chicken, fish, shellfish, salmon, soft cheeses and pasta.
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.
