Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Our 2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc has an attractive nose of zesty lemon and passionfruit tied together with layers of fresh, herbaceous characters. The palate has wonderful fruit concentration with mineral undertones and is balanced by a fresh acidity.
From parcels on two of our best vineyards, the blend is a 25/75% split between our Awatere and Waihopai Valley blocks. The grapes are grown on only two or three canes (as opposed to the usual four for Marlborough), which means our crop levels are strictly managed to ensure texture, weight and flavour intensity.
2023 was a near perfect growing season for Sauvignon Blanc. Good weather at flowering ensured good, but not excessive, potential crop levels and a long, sunny growing season followed. During harvest there was no pressure from inclement weather, so we were able to pick each block as it reached optimum ripeness and flavour. The grapes were gently pressed before being fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected cultured yeast, while a small amount was fermented with wild yeast in old French barriques. This added a little complexity and texture and softens the overall acidity."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Pristine and instantly appealing, the wine shows green rockmelon, fresh fig, kiwifruit and lime zest aromas, leading to a wonderfully expressive palate that's filled with succulent fruit flavours, finishing long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2026."
