Tasting Notes Colour:Upon release this wine was almost water-white in the glass. The colour will slowly deepen with age Bouquet:A melange of gooseberry, passionfruit, and nectarine backed with hints of herbaceousness and a touch of sweat. Palate:One aspect of this wine that will set it apart from its peers is the sheer weight of flavour that it has. It has richness and texture and a finish that goes on and on. The wine will age gracefully for a number of years, but the aromas and flavours will change. Food Matches Young Sauvignon Blanc is a very refreshing aperitif. It is also a great accompaniment to seafood dishes, especially mussels, oysters and squid.
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaker's Notes The settled weather conditions that heralded the start of vintage 2008 allowed us to harvest our best vineyards in fabulous condition. Our 2008 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is based on fruit sourced from seven different vineyards. Each parcel is separately vinified and then assessed blind amongst its peers. When we are making our selection, we chose parcels that give us a range of flavours and aromas to represent what we believe to be ‘essence of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc’.
