"This wholly seductive wine is one of the greatest Sauvignon Blanc in the country, with a distinguished track record to prove it. It is typically an immaculate classy wine, fresh, lively and simply overflowing with flavour" Michael Cooper - Classic Wines of New Zealand
This wholly seductive wine is one of the greatest Sauvignon Blancs in the country, with a distinguished track record to prove it. It is typically an immaculate classy wine, fresh, lively and simply overflowing with flavour.
Shingley white.
My goodness, this is stunning. The nose is pungent and lifted displaying currant, lime zest and a touch of musky characters.
It's succulent and rounded on the palate with refreshing acidity and a delicious finish. It's almost explosive on the palate with loads of mouth-pleasing flavours.
In our Martinborough vineyards we train the vines to achieve a low canopy density and well-exposed fruit. This combined with judicious leaf plucking produces the distinctive fruit flavours in the wine. When the grapes are judged to be at their optimum maturity they are harvested and processed to retain the inherent fruitiness of this varietal.
Sauvignon Blanc is best drunk young, within a year or two of bottling while it's still crisp, fresh and zingy: now to 2012.
