Description

  • Dry style
  • Ripe fruit
  • Camomile
  • Refreshing

"Aromas and flavours of fresh cape gooseberry, angelica and apple, some peach and fresh herb qualities bring together a bouquet of class and familiarity. Palate flavours mirror the bouquet with a backbone of acidity for crispness and salivation, some superfine tannins, fresh herb moments and a balanced even finish. Best drinking from 2024 through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jan 2024

This vibrant and lively wine greets the palate with ripe camomile and nettle flowers, complemented by citrus notes. Its light straw colour with subtle green highlights hints at the freshness within. The ripe fruit is beautifully balanced by steely mineral acidity, creating a lengthy and refreshing finish. A delightful expression of nature's harmony in every sip.

2023 was a textbook vintage for Marlborough. Clear blue-sky days with sporadic clouds and cool nights, which Sauvignon Blanc thrives on, ensuring the purity of their fruit.
We picked at the optimal time to ensure we captured the ripeness of the fruit and the acidity necessary to craft a perfectly balanced wine.

100% tank fermented in various vessels to enable a wide range of yeast and fermentation temperatures to add to the development of the palate structure. Once ferment was completed the wine was left on its yeast lees to further develop the mouthfeel and length.
