Taste
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.
The palate is deliciously concentrated and tropical, underpinned by nectarine and blossoms. Saline notes bring structure, while passionfruit and vibrant citrus acidity bring balance.
Why Do We Love This?
Despite unpredictable weather in the Wairau Valley and a lower yield than usual, this 2021 vintage has all the hallmarks of a future classic. Beautifully warm, dry conditions just before the harvest produced superb fruit that saved the day.
With an intense, vibrant aroma, and taste perfectly balanced between sweet and saline, New Zealand’s famous export is ready to be enjoyed.
