Description
The nose evokes aromas of gooseberry, tomato leaf and underlying passionfruit. The palate is textured with stone fruit and tropical notes leaning into a crisp acidity. The wine finishes dry with a lingering persistence that is synonymous with the Waihopai Valley. This bright, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc pairs wonderfully with seafood and salads. Try our Hartley’s Block Sauvignon Blanc with crispy skin Marlborough King Salmon and an orzo salad.

Vineyard
Sourced from our Leefield Station vineyard, Marlborough, New Zealand.
Vinification
Selected parcels from our Leefield Station vineyard were harvested at optimum ripeness and pressed into stainless steel tanks. The clean juice was racked and inoculated with yeasts that promote tropical aromas followed by a long cool fermentation. Components of this wine were chosen due to their punchy aroma profile and strong palate weight. Blending, stabilisation and filtration occurred over winter before a spring bottling.
