About the wine

REGION: New Zealand | Martinborough
GRAPES: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
PH: 3.29
ACIDITY: 7.2 g/l
ABV: 12.5%
AGING: The wine ages on its lees for 5 months in old and new French oak barrels before being fined, filtered and bottled.

Very pale straw in color with typical aromas of passion fruit pulp interwoven with kaffir lime leaf. The palate has the textural
elements that are hallmarks of this vineyard, with succulence and sophistication. The finish is almost saline and leaves the
drinker reaching for the second glass

This wine will pair well with aperitifs, seafood and poultry.

The grapes are partially hand harvested from the estate-owned Te Muna Road Vineyard. 85% of the grapes are destemmed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks and oak barriques using partial wild yeasts. The wine ages on its lees for 5 months in old and new French oak barrels before being fined, filtered and bottled.

1 to 4 years from vintage.

La Nina influenced. Began warm and early with only one substantial frost. Above average rainfall post-Christmas, the season cooled to match the long-term norm.

What The Critics Say...

Flowery with aniseed and licorice. Some subtle lemons. Medium to light body, dry, lovely fruit and a subtle and fine finish. Well done for the vintage. Drink now. JamesSuckling.com
