Estate Sauvignon Blanc

James Suckling | 92 Points

Blackberries, fresh asphalt, licorice and graphite on the nose. Medium-bodied with juicy fruit. There’s a creamy texture with polish and length. Lovely softness and easiness at the end. Drink now. Screw cap.

Michael Cooper | 5 Stars

From vines nearly 20 years old, the very refined and ageworthy 2021 vintage (*****) is a single-vineyard red, estate-grown at Mere Road, in the Gimblett Gravels, and matured in French oak casks (30 per cent new).  Dark and purple-flushed, with a floral, spicy fragrance, it is mouthfilling and savoury, with deep plum and black pepper flavours, showing excellent ripeness and density, a hint of dark chocolate, and a finely structured finish. Best drinking 2028+.

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.
