ON THE NOSE: Zesty and vibrant on the nose, it has notes of juicy citrus and makrut lime underpinned by subtle white nectarine and passion fruit aromas.
ON THE PALATE: A mouthwatering palate with ripe passion fruit and citrus at the fore, melding with tropical hints of peach and guava and gently balanced by stony, saline notes.

Our Sauvignon Blanc comes largely from vineyards planted on the Wairau Valley floor, where the climate and free-draining gravelly soils are perfect for Sauvignon Blanc. This includes the Estate, Motukawa, Widows, Red Shed, and Mustang vineyards
ON THE NOSE: The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is intense and vibrant. The nose is open, appealing and expressive, with ripe passionfruit, white peach and a hint of lime.
ON THE PALATE: The palate is deliciously concentrated and tropical, underpinned by nectarine and blossoms. Saline notes bring structure, while passionfruit and vibrant citrus acidity bring balance. The compelling finish encourages you to take another sip, and then another. It also hints at the rewards of keeping a bottle aside for a future special event – if you can wait, that is.
THE FINISH: The palate is underpinned by a lively grapefruit acidity, carrying the intense fruit characters through to an impressively long finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Northern Scottish shrimp, Asparagus with balsamic vinaigrette.
