Reviews & Awards

Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit | 4 Stars

Attractively fruited and fragrant, the bouquet presents notes of dark plum, green olive, clove, and nutmeg, leading to a nicely weighted palate that offers fine texture and chalky tannins. Well balanced with a pleasingly dry finish.

REGION

REGION REGION

Hawke’s Bay

Located on the east coast of the North Island, Hawke's Bay wine region is one of the warmest winegrowing regions in New Zealand. The long and warm growing season provides for excellent ripening conditions and full flavour development.

New Zealand Winegrowing

Central to the success of New Zealand as a world-renowned wine growing region is the temperate maritime climate and the free-draining alluvial soils.

The growing season is long, providing perfect conditions for slow ripening and full flavour development. Cool nights and warm days retain fruit acidity which lends a freshness and vibrancy, highly characteristic of New Zealand wine styles.

Soils

Gravel beds, free-draining alluvial soils and stony terraces.

Growing season

Warm and dry delivering intense and characterful wines.
