Tasting Note
This lovely wine has an attractive nose of zesty lemon and passionfruit tied together with layers of fresh, herbaceous characters. The palate has wonderful fruit concentration with mineral undertones and is balanced by a fresh acidity. The finish is gentle and dry.

Wine region: Marlborough, New Zealand. From parcels on two of Lawson's Dry Hills' best vineyards, the blend is a 25/75% split between the Awatere and Waihopai Valley blocks. The grapes are grown on only two or three canes (as opposed to the usual four for Marlborough), which means our crop levels are strictly managed to ensure texture, weight and flavour intensity.
Winemaking: 2023 was a near perfect growing season for Sauvignon Blanc. Good weather at flowering ensured good, but not excessive, potential crop levels and a long, sunny growing season followed. During harvest there was no pressure from inclement weather, so we were able to pick each block as it reached optimum ripeness and flavour. The grapes were gently pressed before being fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected cultured yeast, while a small amount was fermented with wild yeast in old French barriques. This added a little complexity and texture and softens the overall acidity.
Residual sugar: 2.5 g/l
Bottle size: 0.75l
Vegan: yes
Notice: contains sulphites
Cellaring potential: 2026+. Delicious now but will continue to develop in bottle, highlighting the minerality of this wine. A bit of cellaring will also allow the wine to mellow and soften for a rounder mouthfeel.
