Fire Road Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (Second Blend)
- Dry style
- Tropical fruit
- Clean minerality
- Succulent
"Splendidly aromatic with passionfruit, green apple, nectarine and lemon zest aromas, it's beautifully flavoursome in the mouth displaying excellent fruit purity and intensity, making it deliciously appealing. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2022
Intense aromas of green apple and gooseberry layered with tropical fruits. Vibrant and well balanced, the palate shows typical Marlborough Sauvignon flavours including gooseberry, with a clean minerality that leads to a lingering, refreshing finish. A succulent wine drinking beautifully now or up to three years from vintage date.
Fruit for this wine was selected from various vineyards across Marlborough’s maritime and cool climate unique sub regions, including the Wairau Valley. The grapes were harvested when they reached optimum ripeness.
Marlborough’s worst ever fire, Boxing Day 2000, burnt 6,000 ha, for over three days, killed thousands of stock and threatened the wine town of Blenheim, as well as a number of vineyards and wineries. Disaster was avoided by the brave residents, of what is now known as Fireroad, who battled the blaze, by using buckets and hand held hoses and were eventually assisted by a fortunate wind shift.
Food Pairing: A perfect match with roast salmon with pomegranate glaze and herby mayo.
