"It's brilliantly fruited and expressed on the nose showing green rockmelon, fresh apple, lime zest and fig characters, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate that's filled with youthful fruit intensity and vibrantly acidity. Beautifully composed and styled for fabulous drinking" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2021
Marlborough 2020 will be a vintage remembered for a number of reasons, mainly for being the vintage that was harvested during a world pandemic. New Zealand went into Level 4 lock down on midnight March 25th, which was the most critical time for harvest. Despite these unprecedented circumstances, the harvest was of exceptional quality, some of the best the region had seen in years. Overall, the Marlborough growing season was slightly longer and temperatures cooled toward the end of the season resulting in fuller flavoured fruit. A warm spring allowed the vines to evade frost, while an above-average rainfall lead to early flowering. The last significant spell of rainfall was mid-December with only 21mm between then and the end of harvest. Luckily the temperatures in January and February were more moderate than compared to the previous year, which reduced some of the effects of drought and lead to healthy fruit. The 2020 harvest, despite some unusual circumstances have produced some exceptional wines!
Food Pairing: We recommend sharing this brilliantly fruited Sauvignon Blanc at a summer barbecue with friends. Fire up the grill over a cedar plank with a nice flaky snapper. Sauté some asparagus, capsicum and courgettes, toss over a crisp green salad and top with fresh coriander. Serve and enjoy!
