Hawke's Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Description

Winemaking:

Sauvignon Blanc grapes from Mangatahi, inland west of Hastings, and Takapau, near the southern border of Hawke’s Bay. These cooler, later-ripening subregions allow the grapes to develop maximum aroma and flavour while preserving natural acidity, contributing a range of aromas and flavours to the final wine. Winemaking was focused on capturing the intense aromatics and zesty, zingy flavours Hawke’s Bay Sauvignon Blanc is famous for.

The Wine:

Lifted aromas of ripe nectarines, limes, and passionfruit lead to a palate with tangy stone fruit/citrus flavours balanced by a savoury, mineral-like quality and salivating acidity. A classic Hawke’s Bay Sauvignon Blanc of roundness and drinkability that can be enjoyed on its own or partnered with fresh seafood or Asian-inspired dishes. Approachable now, drink while young and fresh (two to three years from harvest date). Serve lightly chilled.
