Tasting Notes
This stylish, rich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc reveals classic aromas of freshly cut thyme and lemongrass combined with tropical notes.
On the palate, the ripe fruit and mineral character from the grapes grown in the Blind River sub-region of Marlborough mingle with more tropical notes of passion fruit and melon from the Wairau Valley vineyards.
The vibrant aromatics and a fine balance of acidity lead to a lingering finish.
About
The fruit for this wine was sourced from the winemaker's (Fiona Turner) own Home Block vineyard in the Awatere Valley and from select vineyards in the coastal Lower Wairau subregions.
The Home Block's dry and sunny yet cool climate site in Blind River sits on gravelly silt and windblown loess 28 meters above sea level, producing fruit with a distinct mineral complexity. With more loams, Lower Wairau soils have higher water retention and parcels from here have great fruit intensity and body.
The fruit from each vineyard was independently monitored and harvested before being carefully pressed to ensure minimal skin contact, thus preventing juice deterioration.
Once settled, the batches were cool fermented in stainless-steel tanks using specific cultured yeasts to add complexity while retaining fresh fruit characteristics.
Shortly after blending, the wine was prepared for bottling under a screwcap closure.
