Sauvignon Blanc

This vibrant aromatic wine is bursting with classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas of herb, passionfruit, currant and gooseberry. The palate is concentrated and lively with ripe citrus and stone fruit flavours and a crisp mineral finish. We love to drink this wine any time or with seafood and pasta dishes.

Vineyard

The fruit for this wine is sourced from established vineyards in Wairarapa that consistently produce excellent Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The naturally low yields and cool dry climate produce fruit with intense flavours and ripe acidity.

Winemaking

The focus in the winery is to capture the pure fruit flavours coming from the vineyard. The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness and gently pressed before cool fermentation with a variety of yeasts that expressed the pungent thiol aromas in the fruit.
