Esk Valley Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
"Classically styled and expressed, the gorgeously aromatic bouquet shows green rockmelon, kiwifruit, fresh fig and lemon zest aromas, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate that's juicy and lively. Fresh and super tasty. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2023
"Aromas and flavours of wet stone and citrus flesh, apples and tropical fruits. Crisp, fleshy, juicy, varietal and textured on the palate. A youthful, vibrant expression with core flavours of white fleshed fruits with a tropical ad herbaceous quality. Balanced, refreshing, salivating and well made. Best drinking from 2023 through end of summer 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023
"Dry, textural Sauvignon with lemon zest, oyster shell, gooseberry and green apple flavours. Assertive wine in a classic Marlborough style. Simple, appealing wine in a punchy, mouth-watering style" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2023
This a very aromatic and intensely flavoured Sauvignon Blanc true to its Marlborough origins. Given the fantastic 2023 growing season, the wine is a heady blend of passionfruit and punchy green notes of snow pea and fresh herbs. It is a rich and full-flavoured style with a crisp dry finish which provides freshness and length to the palate.
Vineyards located in the cooler Awatere Valley (100%) were utilised for this wine. The vineyards are planted on a mix of free draining gravel and clay soils which provide both elegance and structure to the blended wine. This was a very good Marlborough harvest with moderate yields producing intensely flavoured grapes resulting in wines with punchy aromatics and richly textured palates.
The individual parcels were harvested and transported to the winery for immediate processing to capture the freshness of the fruit. Fermentation was conducted at cool temperatures utilising selected yeast strains. Post-fermentation the wines were left on their yeast lees with regular stirring to gain further richness and body before blending and bottling.
