INSIGHT Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Showcasing varietal expression from this one location in a discrete location in the Southern Valley's region of Marlborough. Extremely stony soils, pure water direct from the Southern Alps running beneath. Diurnal temperatures are extreme. Resulting in a wine with distinctive expression: minerality (wet river stone), herbaceous (snow pea, jalapeño, tomato vine), & tropical fruits (mango, honey dew melon). Crisp, elegant & well-balanced. Lovely sense of purity. Celebrates & accentuates the sensory aspects of a Single Vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Target: adventurous consumers.

The Insight Sauvignon Blanc is grown on three sites within in the vineyard, each with a slightly different soil profile. This variation means the vines behave slightly differently, producing different characters from area to area. This variation in flavour profile adds complexity and more than one dimension to the wine.

As well as different soil types, the viticultural team deploy different pruning techniques which influences yield from vine to vine. Yield bearing affects how the vine behaves, which ultimately influences the flavours the vine creates. This variation also adds complexity and texture to the Insight wine.

Having basked in the sun producing many flavours the task is to get the fruit into the winery as quickly as possible to preserve the natural flavours and aromas. This is done using a machine, in the cool of the night. A machine is used as it is quick, so little chance for the flavours to spoil. Once in the winery, the juice is gently pressed from the fruit and transferred to stainless steel tanks which are refrigerated. Refrigerated stainless steel is used as it helps preserve the flavours and aromas.
