Aotea Sauvignon Blanc

Description

The Brightwater Sauvignon Blanc vines are grown in an extremely stony area of the vineyard where water and nutrient levels are low. is helps us to restrict the plants vigour and to crop at low levels. To further enhance the aromatics we removed leaves to allow light penetration and air movement around the fruiting zone. Our Brightwater Vineyard is situated 15km from the coast and is sheltered from the south by the Richmond ranges.

TASTING NOTES

Distinctive bouquet and palate of Sauvignon Blanc with flavours of grapefruit and tropical fruits, a definitive mineral, fresh herb and sweet hay flavour. Loads of energy too with plenty of acidity, crisp textures and minerality. Dry finish with a flinty, grassy and mineral residue. Well-made, balanced and refreshing.

FOOD PAIRING

To drink with cold salads or pesto pasta.
