The different parcels of Sauvignon Blanc have been combined to make a wine that is brimming with pure fruit flavours. The nose is lifted and fresh with notes of passion fruit, blackcurrant leaf and fresh herbs. The sweet fruit characters and crisp acidity, combine to create a palate that is fresh with a zesty mineral finish.

They were incredibly lucky to be able to continue to create these wines during the global pandemic crisis. For this reason, their 2020 wines carry some very unique memories. The 2020 growing season was very dry, which meant disease pressure was low and some timely light rains kept just enough water flowing in their rivers. They had a classic Marlborough autumn with warm days and cool nights, which created this season’s Sauvignon Blanc with their signature fresh natural acidity and intense fruit flavours. They had fairly stable weather during Sauvignon Blanc flowering, with a small amount of rain affecting some of the later flowering areas, resulting in lighter crops and intense flavours. The Sauvignon Blanc produced from this vintage has concentrated fruit flavours, with a vibrant pure palate and an elegant fresh finish.

Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc were selected from their Marlbrough vineyards, where they were harvested at optimum ripeness. At the winery, the fruit
was gently pressed and clarified, after which the clear juice was inoculated using a range of selected yeasts. Long cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks retained the vibrant, fresh characters Sauvignon Blanc is known for. After fermentation, the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered in preparation for bottling.

Wine is made all over the world, and is many things to many people. But no matter where it’s from, or what it means to you, one thing always seems to remain true: a great wine is made even better when enjoyed in good company. In New Zealand we try to be good, to put more into the land than we ever take out. If we look after the land, it will look after us. So raise a glass to the land and enjoy…with Good Company.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with fresh seafood.
