Te Pã, Signature Series Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand 2022

This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc blends fruit in more or less equal proportions from the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Wairau typically shows a more tropical profile, while Awatere fruit produces wines with a greener, crunchier edge. The blocks were fermented separately before being blended and aged on light lees. The result is a punchy and aromatic wine with a good depth of gooseberry, guava, grapefruit citrus and stone fruit flavour. There's also a nettley, herby twist. Zesty and tangy.
