A classic representation of Sauvignon Blanc from the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, bursting with aromatic tropical fruit characters found in this warmer sub region. During the summer months, dry nor-westerly winds and cool overnight temperatures influence the vineyard micro-climate in the Wairau Valley producing pungent Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
The wine displays powerful aromas of blackcurrant, boxwood and grapefruit. The palate has an enticing array of ripe tropical fruits mixed with dried herbs such as rosemary, finishing with a fresh zesty acidity.

Moderately concentrated sauvignon blanc with tangy gooseberry, grapefruit, apple and capsicum flavours plus a contrasting suggestion of tropical fruit.
