Falconhead Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
"Pungent and fruity bouquet with a core of varietal flavours from grapefruit to passionfruit, fresh basil to apple and a wet stone mineral quality. Persistent, fresh, just dry and well made with a backbone of acidity and core flavours ensure consistency and length. A well made wine with best drinking from 2023 through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2023
Ripe scented tropical fruit and herbal aromatics lead into a salivating saline palate, with lively acid surrounding a core of fresh citrus fruit flavours. This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared for up to 2 years.
This wine is from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in our Kuranui vineyard in the Awatere Valley sub-region of Marlborough.
The grapes for this wine were harvested in our Kuranui vineyard and transported to a contract facility for dejuicing, settling and fermentation in stainless tanks using Zymaflore X5 yeast strain. Following fermentation, the wine was transported to our Katikati winery where it was blended, protein stabilized, cold stabilized, fined and bottled in November 2023.
Established in 1978, The Wine Portfolio combines the finest grapes with the best winemaking techniques, as well as passion from our dedicated winemakers. We have taken the boutique winery approach to winemaking by controlling the entire process-from grafting our own cuttings, developing our own vineyards and viticultural techniques and investing in the best technology possible.
Food Pairing: Oysters, scallops and garlic prawns or a goat cheese platter are great food matches.
