Taste: 

 

This 2015 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc shows lifted tropical notes of guava and stone fruit. The palate is crisp, fruity and fresh and finishes with a lively, citrus acidity.
 
Viticulture: 
Twelve parcels of Sauvignon Blanc were selected for this wine from vineyards across the Wairau Valley and the Awatere Valley.
 
Vinification: 
The parcels were harvested and fermented separately, using selected yeast strains for Sauvignon Blanc to enhance varietal character. A long, cool fermentation took place over four weeks, with the parcels then being blended and stabilised, prior to bottling.
