A long and late ripening period of short sunny days and cold nights has enhanced the typically vibrant flavours of the Marlborough Region. After harvesting the grapes were quickly crushed and pressed into stainless steel tanks where the juice was fermented at controlled cool temperatures to capture the intense varietal flavours. The wine was then blended and bottled. The aromas of lantana and wild herbs combines with tropical fruits and green apple. The palate is exuberant and intense-fruit salad, nettles and fresh herbs burst into existence and continue through the length of the palate, joined at the end by lime/citrus and mineral notes. A powerful and lengthy Sauvignon. It works well with a white meat dish. Great with oysters or green salad. Reviews – WineOrbit Review, August 2007. "They've hit a 6 with this wine. Full on passion fruit and feijoas with a succulent palate loaded with ripe fruit flavours. The zesty acid adds real life to the wine and lengthens the finish. It's gorgeous: pure and absolutely delicious. At its best now to 2008." - 94 POINTS - SMART BUY - 5 STARS. Wine Advocate Issue #176, April 2008. - Thee 2007 Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a quintessential herbaceous nose with gooseberry and a touch of mango on the sharp, crisp, perhaps slightly raspy finish." - 87POINTS. Cuisine Magazine, November 2007 - 4 STARS Port of Wines Festival, Nova Scotia, 2007 - GOLD MEDAL |
