Esk Valley
Sauvignon Blanc
This wine is a single vineyard wine produced from fruit grown on gravel river terraces formed by the Ngaruroso River. The vineyard situated at Ohiti is blessed with warm daytime temperatures coupled with cool night time temperatures, ideal for the production of elegant, intensely flavored Sauvignon Blanc. Yields are carefully managed and intensive viticultural practices are undertaken to maximize quality.
Wine Production
The individual vineyard parcels were harvested at peak ripeness and transported to the winery for immediate processing to capture the freshness of the fruit. After the pressing, the juice was settled bright and fermentation conducted in both stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels. Post-fermentation the wines were left on their yeast lees with regular stirring to gain further richness and body before blending and bottling in August 2022.
Tasting Notes
Is a a very aromatic and intensely flavored wine true to its Hawkes Bay origins. Its flavors are a mix of ripe tropical fruits, citrus and cooler notes of mint and fresh herbs. It is an elegant and full-flavored style with a crisp dry finish which provides freshness and length to the palate.
Food Pairing
A perfect match for seafood, goat cheese, and many Asian inspired dishes.
