Tasting Notes
Aroma
Classically Marlborough, the first swirl has aromas of zesty lime, sweet pea and freshly cut passionfruit.
Palate
Well balanced, with flavours of Liberty apple, white nectarine and a dash of sweet herbs, that flow with minerality to a rounded and soft finish.
Vinification
Harvested on the 6th of April, picked over 3-4 weeks and fermented
separately to allow site expression. A slow, cool fermentation captures
fruit purity, provides some tension/restraint in the wine and then is
racked off it’s yeast lees to retain freshness and vibrancy.
Vintage Notes
We had more Growing Degree Days than ’20, ’21 and ’22, but also
more rainfall in the earlier part of the season than the past three years.
Vine growth and ripening was delayed by almost two weeks, and it was
the latest start date in almost a decade. The majority of Sauvignon
was harvested in April which hasn’t happened in many moons. With the
extra time on the vine and clear skies through harvest, fruit was clean,
brilliantly ripe with lush flavours and Marlborough acidity to match.
Region Notes
Sourced from sustainable vineyards in the central and lower Wairau Valleys of Marlborough. These sites are expressive of ‘classic’ Marlborough
Sauvignon, where the industry first began.
