Description

Vinified entirely in stainless steel, this super-expressive, vivacious Marlborough Sauvignon captures the essence of the character contained within the grapes growing on these alluvial soils. Punchy, verdant and crisp, the citrus/gooseberry impact on the senses is further enhanced by delightful notes of exotic fruits.

Time spent maturing on its lees prior to bottling has brought an added dimension of depth and texture to the palate profile. Dry, focused and perfectly balanced, an element of restraint ensures that the finale is not too exuberant.

4 stars – Winestate Magazine – Showing good personality, this Wairau Valley is certified organic. Bright, light lemon/green, it is full-bodied, with fresh, ripe, tropical fruit flavours, crisp acidity and very good depth. Enjoyable young. Michael Cooper MW (2021 vintage)

Silver – 2022 Aotearoa Organic Wine Awards (2021 vintage)

4 stars, Michael Cooper MW ‘Certified organic, this full-bodied, ripely flavoured wine is already drinking well. Grown in the Wairau Valley, it has tropical fruit characters to the fore, finely balanced, crisp, dry and strong.’ (2016 vintage)
