Cellar Notes
Traditional Kiwi techniques of vinification were used to make this wine. SO2 was used in the vineyard when harvesting to retain as much varietal character as possible as well as soft pressing of the grapes. The clarified juice was then racked and fermented using cultured yeast specific to Sauvignon Blanc. After fermentation SO2 was added, the wine was then fined, filtered and then bottled soon after.
Tasting Notes
This elegant expression of Sauvignon Blanc exhibits fresh aromas of passionfruit and limes. The palate is focused, vibrant and balanced with a crisp minerality derived from our limestone rich soils. This is a wine with great concentration and structure. Food: Enjoy with your favorite seafood or chicken dish.
