2022 Coal Pit Proprietor's Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2022
New Zealand, Gibbston
Sauvignon Blanc
Description
Delicate aromas of fresh white blossom, jasmine and lime leaf are in harmony with sherbet candy and exotic Thai basil notes. Ripe green apple and roasted Summer stone fruit give a broad flavour spectrum, with a creamy texture woven expertly through the wine. Perfectly ripe fruit is balanced by an intense white rock minerality, typical of the Coal Pit vineyard and drawing out the length of this refined and elegant wine. Hand harvested from 25 yr old vines on own roots, single vineyard under BioGro organic conversion.
