Pencarrow 2009
Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is always fantastic as a young wine with intense aromatics. You will discover aromas of passionfruit and gooseberries. A block from our Clouston vineyard is selected for these wines. They will have aromas of passionfruits and gooseberries plus a hint of cut grass and similar characters on the palate.

Aroma

A lovely lifted nose showing lime zest, passionfruit and a touch of musky characters.

Palate

It's ripe, juicy and full of tasty flavours on the palate with lively acidity leading to a lingering dry finish. Very appealing and easy on the palate.

Winemaking

The maritime climate of Martinborough coupled with thoughtful viticultural practices delivers ripe intensely-flavoured Sauvignon Blanc. Made from fruit drawn from a number of own and contracted vineyards this wine shows the flavours and intensity that can be derived from thoughtful viticultural practices in New Zealand’s maritime climate.
