Made from a specific parcel of low-cropping vines within our Noa vineyard, this is a Sauvignon Blanc that is built to age gracefully. While this Sauvignon Blanc displays some of the trademark Marlborough characters, with floral, citrus and passionfruit aromas all present, the whole is underpinned by a rich concentration and a flinty minerality. The palate is textural and harmonious, with a savoury complexity and a tight acidity that draws out the palate to a lingering finish.

Enticingly tropical with fresh pineapple and grapefruit alongside hints of fresh flowers and herbs. The acidity is rapier sharp here that gives beautiful balance into a linear and zesty finish. Lightly oaked to give a touch of weight, this is a very fresh and mouth-watering wine ideal with summer lunches.
The fruit is whole-bunch-pressed and lightly settled. Wild yeast is used for fermentation, and at around 10 brix, the wine is transferred to older French barriques to finish fermentation and to mature on yeast lees for around 6 months. The nose exhibits notes of gently spiced orchard fruits, hay and ripe white peach. The palate is textural, with layers of soft stone-fruit, savoury warm brioche and a refreshing dart of preserved-lemon acidity.
Appealing scented Pinot Noir with impressive depth of flavour suggesting dark cherry, violets and spice. Smooth-textured wine that’s deliciously drinkable now but will continue to offer pleasure for many years yet. Good value at this price.
