Crisp, dry sauvignon blanc with lime, green capsicum, gooseberry, nettle, green apple and oyster-shell flavours, with great purity and length. Taut and tangy, a classic Awatere style.

Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc is dry and has an emphasis on aromatic herbs and fresh, green fruits, with a full and lingering mouthfeel, balanced acidity and a savoury, almost saline finish. The winemaking techniques are identical to the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and the differences entirely come from site selection and blending.
