“Crisp, Vibrant, Tropical”
Explosion of grapefruit, lime, citrus and tropical fruits on the nose, with complexing hints of gooseberry and green plants. On palate, pronounced flavour intensity, medium bodied, crisp acidity but not overpowering, overall well-balanced with a moderate finish. Wonderful classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc!

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Sweetness: Dry
Acidity: High
Body: Medium
Alcohol: 13%
Bottle size: 750ml
Wine making: The fruit was machine harvested in cool evening conditions, and pressed immediately with minimal skin contact. After settling, the clear juice was fermented at very low temperatures with selected yeast strains to preserve the inherent varietal flavours. The wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel.
From the winery:
Colour / Appearance: Pale lemon with a green hue
Aroma / Bouquet: An enticing amalgam of tropical fruits, blackcurrant, nectarine, lime and grapefruit underscored with complexing hints of jalapeno and gooseberry.
Palate: A full flavoured, elegantly structured wine, with flavours of blackcurrant, boxwood, citrus and stonefruit. Attractive crushed leaf and mouth watering wet river stone notes enhance the lingering, textured finish.

"This is brilliantly expressed on the nose showing feijoa, kiwifruit, Gala apple and lemon peel aromas, followed by a punchy palate that's juicy and flavoursome. The wine offers terrific fruit purity backed by bright acidity, finishing impressively long and delicious. At its best: now to 2023."

"Ripe, fleshy and ripe tropical fruited bouquet with aromas of apple and grapefruit, mango and fresh lychee. On the palate - crisp, tense, fresh, fruity and dry. A classically style wine with a core of citrus and tropical fruits contrasted with high acidity and fruit spice. Balanced, fresh, well made and ready. best drinking from today and through 2024+."
