Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"Pale lemon hue. Aromas of fresh meadow flowers with grassy undertones with some ripe tropical fruits. Vibrant palate of gooseberry and passionfruit with savoury meadow herbs and a lovely dry saline finish."
Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Appellation: Marlborough
Aging: Stainless steel
92 Points - Vinous:
"The 2023 Sauvignon+ is 100% Sauvignon Blanc this year. However, the fruit is not all Marlborough, with a small portion (7%) of North Canterbury fruit included. The result is a retrained, elegant, herbal expression with sage and chamomile characters joining delicate red apple flavors. It is textured and has an appealing phenolic character that leaves you licking your lips and contributes a reassuring structural note on the quiet finish. A little more length would elevate this further. It is quite the antithesis of what you might consider classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, which means it's not just the acidity that makes this wine rather refreshing." -RG, Apr/2024
