- Ripe grapefruit and lime aromas are neatly framed by notes of blackcurrant leaf, followed by a textured palate bursting with sweet passionfruit and ripe pear with a hint of white pepper on the finish. It is intensely perfumed with white stone fruit and passionfruit notes. Generous and full, it is layered with crunchy green fruit, mango, passionfruit, and pomegranate, underpinned by salty and mineral notes through to a long, concentrated finish.
The grapes were harvested in the cool of the evening to retain their freshness and quickly pressed off the skins to ensure minimal skin contact time. The juice was settled and cool fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with carefully selected yeasts to encourage maximum thiol characters. Thiols are the compounds naturally found on Sauvignon Blanc grapes and are responsible for Marlborough’s signature tropical notes.

| Winery | The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard in the rich, loamy soils of the Dillons Point area of Marlborough Lower Wairau Valley. Shaped by a slow convergence of tectonic plates, the Wairau Valley offers a veritable patchwork of contrasting soil types linking the Alps in the west with the Pacific Ocean in the east. The eastern floodplain soils are nutrient-rich silty loam, renowned for delivering Marlborough's iconic tropical-flavoured Sauvignon Blanc. To capture the maximum expression of regional characteristics, the pruning, irrigation and canopy management are dictated by each variety and each block of land. |
