Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (6 pack)
Description
All the grapes of this wine were estate grown on both alluvial flat and sunny north-facing slopes.
After fermentation for 3 weeks the wine was racked and kept on light lees to develop superb textural characters that are the hallmark of our Sauvignon Blanc.
Aromas of passionfruit, lime zest and white nectarine with subtle musky complexity.
Fresh and intensely aromatic. The palate is lively and vibrant leading to a mouthwatering finish.
Flavours of gooseberry, passionfruit and classic citrus notes, with a long and succulent finish make it very appealing.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 5 Stars. 93/100
It is instantly appealing on the nose showing Gala apple, grapefruit, passionfruit and lime peel aromas, followed by an intensely flavoured palate that is filled with juicy fruit flavours. It is punchy and lively with excellent varietal expression. At its best: now to 2020.
Raymond Chan, 18/20
“..The fruit forms a vibrant and lively palate core and line, and the wine has good acid drive and energy, leading to a lingering, taut finish of passionfruit and chalky minerals. This is an elegantly concentrated and intense Sauvignon Blanc with passionfruit, tropical fruit, nettles and herbs with mineral notes on a palate with a taut core and lively acidity..
