A bright, sustainably made Sauvignon Blanc (89 points, Blue Lifestyle), this coastally sourced white wine has aromas of citrus and passion fruit, as well as grassy aromas and gooseberry.
The palate is crisp, with tropical fruit flavors of pineapple, melon, and grapefruit, followed by a long finish.
The 2020 growing season created a very good vintage with prolonged dry spells, attributing to concentrated flavors and aromas. This vintage is made from a blend of three vineyards, notably two in Wairau Valley, and one in Waihopai Valley. Blocks were picked at optimum ripeness, and gently pressed. Cold fermentation was used, with the wine aged on the lees for approximately 4 weeks, and then filtered.
A great accompaniment to dishes like shrimp and seafood, poultry, grilled vegetables, and lighter fare. The wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
