Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc presents a bright, pale straw colour with luminous clarity and youthful brilliance, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of a wine crafted from over 50 individual parcels of Te Muna fruit — one of Martinborough’s most celebrated and distinctive terroirs, where river stones impart a remarkable saline minerality that sets this wine apart from more conventional expressions of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
Aroma
The nose is refined and immediately captivating, with aromas of white flowers and blossom enfolding freshly cut peaches and passionfruit in a beautifully layered and expressive aromatic profile of genuine elegance and complexity. This extraordinary bouquet transcends the vibrant style New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is known for, reflecting the intense citrus and tropical fruit character of a long ripening season, lifted by herbal notes of exceptional freshness and distinction.
Palate
Bright and expressive on the palate, with fruit and floral notes intertwined with hints of preserved lemon and key lime in exceptional harmony. The wine is fresh, elegant and textural, with a saline minerality imparted by the river stones of Te Muna’s distinctive terroir adding a mineral-driven depth and complexity that is truly reflective of this remarkable site. The finish is long, elegant and deeply satisfying — a Sauvignon Blanc of outstanding refinement and genuine Martinborough character.
Pairs With
This exceptional Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc is a natural companion to fresh oysters, grilled snapper, ceviche, goat’s cheese, asparagus, herb-crusted chicken, or enjoyed chilled on its own as an elegant aperitif, where its saline minerality, preserved lemon and passionfruit character shine with effortless distinction.
