| Wine Description |
|
Single vineyard grapes have resulted in a delightfully drinkable dry style wine with traditional New World sauvignon blanc characters and a good intensity. A clean, fresh wine with capsicum, lime, gooseberry and hints of nectarine aromas, leading into a second more floral tier of wild rose, it is well-balanced with hints of grapefruit and nectarine and a subtle pear skin finish backed up by a lingering aftertaste of classic gooseberry. |
| Winemakers Notes |
|
Sourced from fertile soils near the mouth of the Motueka River, carefully tended parcels of grapes were machine harvested in the early hours of the morning and the fruit trucked Marlborough for light bag pressing followed by fermentation with an aromatic yeast strain. Winemaking included regular stirring on secondary yeast lees and a slight French oak influence. Fermentation temperatures were kept low during a prolonged period after which a stop ferment process was used to retain the natural residual sugars. The wine was then racked immediately after ferment to remove gross lees and left to settle and harmonize. Cross flow filtration preceded bottling. |

| TiZwine Accolades |
 |
| This wine's herbaceous, nettle nose gives way to good gooseberry flavours combined with a lively, spritzy acidity. There is excellent fruit concentration and decent richness that makes for a juicy finish. Excellent value. |
