The King's Favour Sauvignon Blanc 2020

A punchy nose featuring aromas of passionfruit, blackcurrant leaf and an underlying touch of nettle. The generous palate is textured with flavours of nectarine and elderflower while still carrying a herbaceous freshness. The wine finishes deliciously dry – a characteristic synonymous with Waihopai Valley acidity. This bright, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc pairs wonderfully with seafood and salads. Try our King’s Favour Sauvignon Blanc with fish sliders and a fresh green salad.

Sourced from our Waihopai River Vineyard, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough.

Selected parcels from our Waihopai vineyard were harvested at optimum ripeness and pressed into stainless-steel tanks. The juice was then racked and inoculated with yeasts that promote tropical aromas and enhance the natural Sauvignon Blanc characteristics. This was then followed by a long, cool fermentation after which select components of this wine were chosen for their punchy aroma profile and strong Waihopai terroir. Blending, stabilisation and filtration occurred over winter before bottling in the spring.
