Description: | Winemaker Notes; The Sauvignon Blanc was drawn from four vineyards located around Renwick in the Wairau River Valley. While each one has its own characteristics, they share in common the Wairau plains gravel-rich, free draining and devigourating soil profile. This classic Marlborough terroir is critical in achieving the smaller berries and lower cropping levels needed to produce premium Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the morning, cold settled and cool fermented in stainless.steel tanks. The wine is left on its lees to develop a textural creamy mid-palate, before being blended with a small oak component and then bottled. James Suckling 90 Points - "Shows plenty of typicity with melon and green apple, as well as pear drops on the nose and palate. Medium body with kiwi fruit, lemon and some green melon. Creamy finish. Delicious and reserved." |
