Marlborough experienced rather high rainfall during the growing season, resulting in high moisture levels throughout the vineyard. Dewy mornings combined with good crops created a sense of nervousness heading into vintage. However, the weather remained stable, which meant we could pick our fruit when desired and the concentration and health of the fruit was outstanding. The resulting wine is showing the wonderful hallmarks that our Marlborough vineyards are known for - highly concentrated flavours, with underlying purity and minerality The Sauvignon Blanc produced from this vintage has concentrated fruit flavours, with a vibrant pure palate and an elegant fresh finish.

Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc were selected from our Marlborough vineyards, where they were harvested at optimum ripeness. At the winery, the fruit was gently pressed and clarified, after which the clear juice was inoculated using a range of selected yeast. A long cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks retained the vibrant, fresh characters Sauvignon Blanc is known for. After fermentation, the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered before bottling.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with seafood, grilled chicken, salads and pastas.
