Tasting note

Ripe citrus oil, white peach, and tropical melon, with classic Marlborough characters of green herbaceous notes, lemongrass and aromatic herbs. Medium bodied, showing stone fruit, yuzu, tropical flavours, gooseberry, blackcurrant, boxwood, and ripe greens. A ripe citrus line and leafy green notes provide definition, leading to a lingering and precise finish. Fresh and elegant, supported by cleansing acidity.

Viticulture

A mix of company owned or managed vineyards, and contract grower vineyards, are pruned to between two and four canes on a vertical shoot positioned trellis. Shoot thinning, leaf plucking and trimming are used to achieve balanced vines, a healthy canopy and clean fruit.

Vinification

Our Sauvignon Blanc grapes were destemmed, but not crushed before being lightly pressed with minimal skin contact. In order to achieve a high degree of clarity, we allowed the free run juice to settle. Fermentation took place in upright stainless steel tanks at very low temperatures for up to 30 days.
