Production
Fruit for this wine comes from vineyards throughout Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. From the cooler coastal vineyard of Rarangi with pea gravels, sand and silt soils, up through warmer central and southern valley vineyards with riverbed gravel, clay loam and silt soils, and stoney Rapaura vineyards. Grapes are picked and immediately pressed, cold settled, and racked. The must is cool fermented with selected yeast strains to enhance the unique aromatics and flavours of each parcel. The separate parcels are carefully blended to create this generous full-textured style. The wine is filtered and bottled young to capture the remarkable freshness of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting notes
Sappy and fresh with perfumed tropical fruit and lime. The palate has a rich minerality and a clean, mouthwatering finish.
