Estate 2024 Sauvignon Blanc
- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 93 Points – “Upfront and splendidly aromatic, the bouquet shows crunchy apple, green rockmelon, lemongrass, and jasmine aromas, leading to a lively palate that's filled with bright fruit intensity. It's flavoursome and lingering with excellent vibrancy.”
COLOUR
Clear bright pale straw with a lustrous shimmer and lovely cling on the glass.
NOSE
Clean and bright aromas of verbena and zesty crunchy pear with hints of fresh tropical fruit.
PALATE
Lively lemon sorbet and orange rind rides cleanly across the palate to a ripe melon and pineapple leading to a subtle and lifted bright flinty finish.
WINEMAKING
The wine is an assembly of free run juice harvest of several Loire Valley clones. Fermentation is long and cool being generally three weeks between 10 - 12 degrees to retain maximum aromatic and true flavour expression. Typical Pyrenees Sauvignon character with its long lingering flavour length allowing it to be paired with more robust food faire than is the norm for this wine variety.
FOOD PAIRING
Pan fried scallops, tempura, oyster’s au naturel, lemon chicken with a rocket, nasturtium flower & sorrel salad.
VINTAGE NOTES
After three cooler and wet La Niña years (2021-2023), drier, warmer growing conditions in 2024 led to a high-quality outcome given our higher cooler elevation. A pre-flowering frost reduced yield slightly across blocks A, B and C. Ideal growing conditions thereafter resulted in a good crop which produced grapes of clean and generous variety expression.
