A delicious Sauvignon Blanc from the outstanding 2020 vintage. Fruit was sourced from a spread of vineyards encompassing the Southern Valleys, Rapaura, Spring Creek and the Awatere subregions, these blocks are cropped at moderate levels to achieve the perfect balance of ripeness, flavour and acidity. Each block was harvested and fermented separately, bringing their own unique character to the blend. Five percent of the wine was fermented in old French barriques with wild yeast, to provide additional complexity and texture.
Brilliant water like core with a distinctive greenish tinge to the rim. Jumping out of the glass are intense passionfruit, gooseberry and lime scents which are trailed by subtle herbaceous grassy and asparagus notes. Mouth watering passionfruit, gooseberry and citrus flavours burst across the palate with herbaceous grassy characters and zingy minerals lying underneath. Finishes dry with crisp acidity and a long scrumptious aftertaste.
