Description

  • Dry style
  • Passionfruit
  • Lively citrus
  • Crisp finish

"Fleshy, ripe, fruity and loaded with fresh herbs and tropical fruit scents. Aromas and flavours of fresh red apple and grapefruit, some white peach and white florals laced with a wet stone mineral quality. Fresh herbs of basil and sage then passionfruit and pineapple. Crisp and dry on the finish with a core of fruit and salivating textures. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

This vibrant aromatic wine is bursting with classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas of herb, passionfruit, currant and gooseberry. The palate is concentrated and lively with ripe citrus and stone fruit flavours and a crisp mineral finish.

The fruit for this wine is sourced from established vineyards in Wairarapa that consistently produce excellent Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The naturally low yields and cool dry climate produce fruit with intense flavours and ripe acidity.

The focus in the winery is to capture the pure fruit flavours coming from the vineyard. The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness and gently pressed before cool fermentation with a variety of yeasts that expressed the pungent thiol aromas in the fruit.

Food Pairing: We love to drink this wine any time or with seafood and pasta dishes.

Vivianne - 12/09/2024

I usually buy Marlborough Sauvignon but I found this quite interesting

Moyra - 12/09/2024

Difficult to understand how this can be offered at the price. It is full bodied and dangerously drinkable. Will but again.

Good BBQ wine

David - 02/02/2024

Good value if that’s your drop. For me a bit too fruity, but pleasant nonetheless.

Alexandra - 18/10/2024

S
Good value for money - but this proves that I am a Marlborough Sav fan, as opposed to a North Island Sav!

Sue - 18/10/2024

P
A fairly ordinary sav, and quite dry. However the price makes it good value.

Paul - 18/10/2024

P
Quite a nice drop of sav

Philip - 04/10/2024

I felt this wine was not as good as other Sauvignon Blancs I had from you. I then realised it was from the Wairarapa and I think the best Sauvs are from Marlborough.

Heather - 02/10/2024

B
Easy drinking

Brian - 27/09/2024

I purchased this because write up was very positive and I’ve never had a North Island Sav before. Sadly I am disappointed in it. It’s not the wines fault I am sure, but it just doesn’t have the zing that Marlborough wines do. If I didn’t have that comparison it would have been fine. I compare the taste to being the same as an Australian Sav versus Marlborough. They just don’t compare

Dawn - 20/09/2024

Just received today, and too early for a glass

charlene - 17/09/2024

M
Much prefer Marlborough wine thought the Matahiwi a bit to dry
