Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Winemaker’s Comment
This light and vibrant wine smells like summer, with aromas of fresh lemon
and fresh snow peas. The juicy palate is balanced and has flavours of
passionfruit and grapefruit, with a hint of sweet herbs like basil and
lemongrass on the finish.
Serving Suggestions
Only 95 calories per serving, the perfect pairing with fresh summer salads.
Season & Viticulture
Summer was dry and mild with Marlborough’s signature high sunshine
hours and cool nights delivering fruit in the best possible condition. The
early 2021 autumn season provided Marlborough with very stable weather
conditions therefore fruit was able to reach optimum physiological and
flavour ripeness. The fruit was impeccably clean and the lower yields
meant that the grapes packed a punch in flavour and concentration.
Winemaking
In 2021, the grapes for this Lighter Sauvignon Blanc were harvested in
mid-March from carefully selected Waihoipai Valley vineyard site. These
grapes express ripe flavours with fresh acidity when the grape sugar levels
are lower than usual, creating a full-flavoured wine with lower alcohol. The
fruit is gently handled in the winery to ensure bright aromatics, fresh ripe
fruit flavours and bottled whilst young and fresh.
