A dry, elegant and savory iteration of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The inclusion of Semillon, natural primary and partial secondary fermentation, and extended ageing on lees in oak have all aided in creating a Sauvignon Blanc that encompasses a style that is atypical of the region; a wine displaying great age ability and complexity. Ripe tropical fruit is supported by many textural layers and vibrant acidity on the finish.
Located in the central pocket of the Wairau Valley, the certified organic 45 hectare vineyard is made up of free-draining Waimakariri soils. The land is planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillion, and Riesling. Olive groves, orchards, and vegetable gardens are an important part of the vineyard and add to the diversity of the Estate.
