Tasting Notes
Aroma
The wine is youthful and vibrant with beautifully layered aromatics of stone fruit, baking spices, and a chalky nuance.
Maturation
11 months.
Palate
The palate is poised with great length, where vanilla, hazelnut and cream are complemented with very fine texture and minerality. Seamless, elegant and mouth-watering.
Vinification
The intention with all of our Sound of White wines is to showcase the site, with as little winemaking as required, depending on the season. 2020 was a vintage that allowed a simple hands-off approach. Fruit was hand-picked and gently pressed at the winery to tank, with only a small amount of sulphur, for 24 hours. Then cloudy juice was run to 500 L puncheons for a ‘wild’ ferment.
Cellaring Potential
While drinking well in its youth, this wine is made with an element of longevity in mind and will continue to improve with age over the next 7+ years when stored correctly.
Vintage Notes
The 2019/2020 season will be one to remember for many reasons. Spring started out with mixed weather – cool temperatures, strong north-west winds, rain and a healthy dose of sunshine which became settled warm weather through flowering in December, ensuring a modest fruit set. Late January into February was hotter than average and very dry, then eased into classic Marlborough warm days and cool nights. Those warm days and cool nights help to express the unique fruit profile of Marlborough with fresh, juicy acidity to match.
