The grapes for Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’19 were harvested from Te Mata Estate’s own vineyards in the Bridge Pa Triangle, Dartmoor and Havelock Hills sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. Hawke’s Bay’s warm climate and free draining soils produce sauvignon blanc with ripe fruit characters, balanced by fresh acidity, without the need for residual sugar.
Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’19 immediately entrances with the aroma of tropical passionfruit, mango, and honeydew melon. With notes of lifted gooseberry, lime blossom, pears and summer herbs, the palate is generous and dry, carrying effortlessly to a balanced and delicate, fine and crisp finish.
Best served chilled, either as a refreshing pre-dinner glass of wine, or with salads, seafood dishes, and lightly spiced Asian foods.
