Hand-picked Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the company Templars Hill, Mansons Farm and Saffron Farm vineyards in Bannockburn, Central Otago. The Saffron Farm selection was wild fermented in old oak barrels, the rest in tank. A very pale, translucent lemon-yellow in the glass. Bright and fresh aromatics, with citrus, sorrel, blackcurrant, hay, passionfruit, elderflower and nectarine on the nose. Noticeably rich and plush at first sip, with that succulent fruit being driven through the palate with a striking, zesty acidity. Both minerality and texture play a part towards the back of the palate – weighty and complex. The finish is deliciously drying and long. 93pts
