Colour: | Marlborough Sauvignon is always very pale when it is young. As this wine ages it will develop straw and green-gold tints. |
Bouquet: | A melange of gooseberry, passionfruit, and nectarine backed with hints of herbaceousness and a touch of sweat. |
Palate: | This wine has a wonderfully inviting palate. It is rich and fleshy, yet retains classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc raciness. |
“It's fabulously fruited and expressed on the nose showing green rockmelon, apricot, feijoa and lemon peel characters. The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity and vibrancy together with fine texture and zesty acidity, finishing long and refreshing.” Sam Kim, July 2018
