Tasting Notes

APPEARANCE
Clear, brilliant and crystalline, Estate Sauvignon Blanc ’22 appears spun from bright golden light.

AROMA
Lime, passionfruit, guava, and honey-dew melon leap from the glass in this powerful statement of New Zealand’s famous sauvignon blanc expression.

PALATE
Beyond, the palate is rich, layered and juicy. A moreish acidity runs the length of this wine, all the way though to its mouth-watering finish. Deliciousness redefined, Estate Sauvignon Blanc ’22 has arrived.

FOOD MATCHING
Estate Sauvignon Blanc ’22 is best served chilled, either as a refreshing pre-dinner glass of wine, or with salads, seafood dishes and lightly spiced Asian foods.

REGION NOTES
Hawke’s Bay’s warm climate and free draining soils produce sauvignon blanc with ripe fruit characters, balanced by fresh acidity.

VINIFICATION
With sauvignon blanc grapes of such quality, minimal winemaking means the fine aromatics and flavours are preserved. At the winery, the grapes were chilled, gently pressed, and the juice cold-settled before fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

CELLARING POTENTIAL
Estate Sauvignon Blanc ’22 can be enjoyed immediately upon release and will continue to develop in bottle for two years from harvest.
