Tasting note
Pale straw in colour with a complex aroma featuring layers of snow pea, passion fruit and sweet lime. Gentle acidity combines with intense flavours including citrus sherbet and a lemon twist on the finish. A mouth-watering wine best enjoyed chilled.
Vineyard
Marlborough has rapidly developed an international reputation for producing premium Sauvignon Blanc. The region is situated in the north-eastern corner of New Zealand's South Island. Bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and towering mountain ranges in the hinterlands to the north and south, a broad alluvial plain stretches from the coastline, gradually rising into narrow valleys with favorable northerly aspects.
Viticulture
In the heart of Marlborough, we source our fruit from three sub-regions - the Lower Wairau, Southern Valleys and Central Wairau - selected for the distinct characters each location brings to the wine. Careful yield control then guarantees exceptional fruit from one of the world's finest Sauvignon Blanc regions.
Vinification
The la Nina conditions experienced during the 2023 growing season proved favourable for Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough. Bright warm days were balanced with significant rain events for strong vine growth for excellent acidity retention. Stunning late season conditions rewarded us with one of the best vintages in memory.
Food Match
Company Director Fraser McLachlan suggests fresh mussels in their shell, steamed in Mohua Sauvignon Blanc, with fresh ginger and chilli. Garnish with lemon zest and coriander.
