Description

"A stylish sauvignon made from grapes grown in Wairau and Awatere Valleys, the elegantly fragrant bouquet shows grapefruit, feijoa, nectarine and lime zest characters. It is concentrated and focused on the palate, and offers excellent fruit purity and intensity, wonderfully framed by bright acidity. The wine shows both fruit intensity as well as poise and refinement. At its best: now to 2019." Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Bursting with intense aromas of grapefruit and lime zest with lively passionfruit and elderflower floral notes adding allure and complexity.

This wine delivers an elegant array of delicious flavours and a crisp refreshing finish that is synonymous with Marlborough.

The fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning, transferred to the winery where it underwent temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks using carefully selected yeast cultures. Post ferment maturation on fine lees gives the wine a refined texture to compliment the exuberant aromatics.

Vineyard: 100% single vineyard – MacDonald Family Home Vineyard. Cane pruned on VSP trellising

The rich top soils of the lower Wairau Valley have long been considered the finest agricultural soils in Marlborough. They give us complex flavours and pungent aromatics.

Combine this with the influence from Rarangi alluvials deposited by the mighty Wairau River 300 years ago, and we present a wine brimming with complexity, personality and elegance.
