Marama (99% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Semillon), is a wine with its own clear identity; richly textured, with aromas of citrus, elderflower and a hint of honey-comb. The palate is complex and involving, with soft oak providing weight and generosity to the underlying Sauvignon characters. A tight and focused acidity creates a lingering finish.
The fruit was hand-sorted, whole-bunch pressed and sent straight to barrel. Each parcel was naturally fermented in French oak, 11% new oak.
The wine went through malolactic fermentation, which occurred naturally in barrel. After 18 months in oak on full lees, the wine was blended, lightly filtered and fined and aged in bottle before release.
Hand-picked, certified organic grapes from the Noa vineyard's oldest vines. Whole-bunch pressed, wild yeast, fermented and aged on lees for 18 months in French oak barriques. Very complex nose is very unlike Sauvignon Blanc! Broad, rich nose with great intensity with the oak – just – submerged by the fruit. An ambitious wine that some will find too rich – certainly if they are expecting a typical Marlborough Sauvignon – but this could be a great challenge for food and wine matchers. It definitely deserves food. Quite chewy even now! But it tastes as though it might tip into oiliness eventually.
