Tasting Notes
Aroma
Displaying aromas of ripe citrus peel, candy apple and wet stone.
Appearance
Green hues and pale straw in colour.
Palate
The palate is juicy and mouthwatering, with a saline
thread that weaves its way through flavours of
preserved lemon and stone fruits. There is a charming
texture in the wine that creates length and persistence,
supported by naturally vibrant acidity.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy over the next three years or more when cellared correctly.
Vintage Notes
A truly remarkable growing season that was marked by
dry, warm weather. A significant late season frost and
a cooler start to flowering in December created low
yields across much of the region. As an average our
estate and grower blocks were 25-30% down on
average, with a surprising number of Sauvignon
vineyards yielding single digits. Pristinely clean fruit on
the vine and smaller than usual bunches had us
quietly brimming with excitement.
With no disease pressure, and the driest summer in
Marlborough for over 90 years harvest started on the
13th of March and was more of a sprint than a
marathon, with the last block coming in on the 30th of
March. The earliest and quickest harvest in many
years.
Food Matching
A range of seafood dishes, hard cheeses, and crisp green salads with fresh herbs and olive oil.

Shanteh Wale
Sliced pineapple, papaya and bursting aloe vera. There is a tropical nature to this wine that lifts from the bottom of the glass to the ceiling. Some oyster shell and white stone, with a gentle creaminess of white cornmeal thanks to some neutral oak. Acidity is bright and held in by some savoury white pepper on the finish. A lovely wine to complement fresh cheeses and garden greens. Points: 91/100

Christina Pickard
Heady aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit and black currant leaf fill the nostrils, while the mouth is satiated by crisp acidity and a slightly slippery texture. Drink with asparagus and other summer veg. Joval Family Wines. Best Buy. Points: 90/100
