Yealands Single Block S1 Sauvignon Blanc

Based in the Awatere Valley, the southernmost, coolest and driest of Marlborough's growing regions, Yealands is one of only a handful of wineries around the world to be certified as carbon neutral and the first-ever to be certified from inception. The estate was founded on 08-08-08 by dynamic environmental entrepreneur and iconic figure Peter Yealands. Combining the very latest cutting-edge green technology and highly innovative thinking, the Yealands name quickly became synonymous with a passion for crafting ultra-premium wines in the most environmentally-friendly manner. From a single block in New Zealand's most coastal vineyard, this wine is highly expressive with notes of blackcurrant and ripe stone fruit. The palate is richly textured due to extended lees aging, with firm acidity and flinty minerality. Pair with pork roasts, as well as fresh and cooked seafood dishes including freshly shucked oysters, prawns, green lipped mussels and creamy scallops. 90 Points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, July 2019
