91 POINTS, DECANTER | 2024 SAUVIGNON BLANC
WINEMAKING
Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness. After gentle pressing, the cloudy juice was clarified then settled. Once clarified the juice was fermented for 3 weeks using a selection of aromatic yeasts to maximize the fruit characters inherent to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. After fermentation, the wine was racked and the individual parcels held separately on light lees to help maintain freshness before final selection and blending.
TASTING NOTE
Crisp and full flavored giving the wine a lively mouthfeel. The nose delivers floral and herbaceous notes, with a hint of lime and mandarin peel balanced with gooseberry leaf. Flavors of citrus, particularly lemon, lime and grapefruit, are complemented by notes of dried herb. Balanced and pithy, providing a lingering palate.
