Sauvignon Blanc
Zesty lime and grapefruit aromas are the first to emerge from the nose of our 2013 sauvignon blanc, followed by nectarine and lemongrass tones. The palate is fresh and focused with ripe citrus, stonefruit, fennel and mineral notes lingering on the persistent finish. Our sauvignon blanc is a delicious partner to a tomato and goat curd salad drizzled with fresh basil oil.
Vineyard Notes
Grapes for our sauvignon blanc are sourced from estate and grower vineyards located in the Rapaura, Fairhall, Renwick and Brancott sub-regions of the Wairau Valley. Soils range from free draining stony on the valley floor to aged alluvial loams containing some clay. The majority of fruit is grown on a vertical shoot positioned (VSP) trellis with a small number of blocks on Scott-Henry. In 2013, our average sauvignon blanc yield was 10 tonnes/ha.
Production Notes
Harvest 2013 was rather compressed with varieties ripening at similar rates due to the remarkably uniform growing season. Harvest of our sauvignon blanc fruit commenced on March 29th with the first fruit coming in from the Rapaura and Renwick subregions. The compact harvest lasted just two weeks, finishing on 15th April. Crop levels were well balanced and slightly below average.
