Marlborough’s oldest walnut tree sits in the middle of this estate’s certified organic Sauvignon Blanc vines. This great-value example has a weighty mouthfeel with a savoury, textured palate from wild-yeast fermentation, lifted by crisp acidity. Very pure and vibrant, bristling with grapefruit pith and tropical guava flavours.
