Description
Aromas of tropical fruit flavours- passionfruit, fresh pineapple and guava, subtle notes of tomato leaf and crushed oyster shell. The palate offers striking orchard fruit flavours - peach, granny smith apple and fresh cut nectarines, following lively citrus notes. The wine finishes long with a crystalline expression of fresh fruit

Analytical data
Vineyard
Parcels are hand selected from heavy soil vineyards in the Awatere Valley, a premium sub-region in Marlborough. Awatere Valley is slightly cooler, drier, windier with higher elevation and is known for great minerality and texture.
Vinification
To create a Sauvignon Blanc with intense flavour and texture, our winemakers gently press off the must prior to cold settling. Cool fermentation using selected yeasts captured aromatics and flavour. Time on fine lees allowed the wine to build further complexity prior to bottling.
