HAWKE'S BAY SAUVIGNON BLANC

This is a complex and age-worthy expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Hand-harvested and gentle whole-bunch pressing has created a finely textured palate of exceptional length.

TASTING NOTES

AROMA AND PALATE

On the nose, the wine exhibits quince, nectarine and lime with lifted citrus blossom and elderflower notes. This is complimented by subtle creaminess and a mineral-like complexity derived from wild fermentation in French oak.

On the palate the wine is medium bodied, finely textured and persistent with a slightly flinty edge.

ENJOY WITH

Great with a range of seafoods including richer dishes such as scallops or crayfish. Try with fresh and vibrant salads and vegetables including fennel, tomato, basil, parsely, rocket, capers, green beans and asparagus - plus good quality Mozzarella cheese. It also works well with richer poultry dishes and butter-based sauces such as beurre blanc.
