2024 Sauvignon Blanc

VINTAGE 2024 – an excellent white wine vintage, typified by good yields and a dry, mild ripening period resulting in flavoursome, aromatic wines.

VARIETIES 91% Sauvignon Blanc; 6% Chardonnay; 3% Semillon.

APPEARANCE Pale straw with green tints.

AROMA Aromas of nashi pear, guava, lemon barley and jasmine combine with complexing savoury notes of nettle and cashew nut.

PALATE Textured and mouth-filling – fleshy fruits of pear, melon and guava fill the mid-palate before intertwining with hints of toasted nuts and herbs. A soft, talc-like mineral acid focuses the finish around notes of lemon leaf and passionfruit.

OAK DETAILS 30% of the blend spent 4 months (including ferment) in a combination of new (10%) and seasoned French oak barriques, whilst the balance of the blend was fermented cool in stainless steel to retain freshness of aromatics.

CELLARING Ready for immediate drinking and will continue to drink well over the next 3-4 years.

FOOD PAIRING Grilled white fish with mango salsa.
