2012 Bladen Sauvignon Blanc

In 1989, Christine and Dave Macdonald left their city lives behind to realise their dream of establishing a vineyard and winery. With caravan in tow the family embarked on a national tour to find the ideal winegrowing region and vineyard location. Settling in Marlborough, they planted their vineyard by hand, initially growing grapes for local wineries before creating their own wines under the Bladen name.

Brilliant very pale straw almost water like colour with faint greenish tinge around the edges and watery hue. The nose shows good intensity with lifted passionfruit and citrus aromas followed by some green apple and a trace of mineral. Mouthfilling flavours of passionfruit are dominate followed by some lime, citrus and mineral. Clean crisp finish. Excellent concentration with long passionfruit, lime and mineral aftertaste.
