A Stunning Marlborough Sauvignon
Description
Produced by acclaimed winemaker, Simon Waghorn, this single-vineyard wine is quite a different take on Marlborough Sauvignon. The hand-picked grapes are barrel fermented with wild yeasts before ageing in French oak barrels, giving the wine lots of body and texture. It’s a truly stunning take on Marlborough Sauvignon and one that will continue to develop complexity in the bottle if well cellared.
Tasting Note
Varietal aromas of passionfruit and citrus zest are joined by almond and lemon curd, while the richly textured palate offers guava, passionfruit and hazelnut flavours before a long, chalky mineral finish.
