NV Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc

Colour

Pale green straw with lovely green hues and brilliant clarity

Bouquet

Lifted passionfruit with intense tropical aromas rush you with every bubble that pops and screams Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc to tantalize your senses!

Palate

A fresh and lively sparkling wine with beautiful fruit weight on the palate. It exhibits the same fine tropical fruit aromas as the bouquet with an underlying flinty note, typical of Awatere Valley fruit. It has fine persistent bubbles and a clean refreshing finish.

Winemaking

Parcels of fruit from the Awatere and Wairau Valley’s in Marlborough were selected and harvested then gently pressed to retain varietal character and freshness, which is something we made priority with this wine. Winemaking techniques included fermentation with solids as well as cool and warm fermentation. These techniques improved texture and softness without sacrificing the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc varietal expression.

Cellaring

Drink now, but will continue to soften and develop more complexity over the next 2 years.
