Stanley Estates Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020
- Dry style
- Passionfruit
- Gooseberries
- Crushed blackcurrant leaves
"Fabulously fruited and classically expressed, showing feijoa, kiwifruit, nectarine and lime peel aromas on the nose. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent fruit intensity and persistency, backed by juicy acidity, finishing long and delectable. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2021
The Sauvignon Blanc 2020 is a very aromatic wine, fruit driven but technically dry. It has ripe zesty fruit flavours of white currents, grapefruit, passionfruit and gooseberries balanced by green tomato stalk, capsicum and crushed blackcurrant leaves. It has a beautifully balanced palate.
It is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, Single Vineyard from the Stanley Estates family vineyard in the Awatere Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand.
The 2020 season was fantastic with warm dry conditions making for a very straight forward harvest. After another hot dry summer which gave us a “normal” crop load, with superb quality and resulted in an early harvest. The flavours developed steadily during the ripening period and the fruit was picked in parcels as the blocks reached maturity. The grapes were machine harvested at night when the fruit temperatures are lower to capture and maintain the fruit freshness.
After a gentle pressing, the juice was sealed and racked to stainless steel tanks, where it went through a controlled fermentation using French yeasts. The wine then spent a good time on lees to add depth of flavour and palate weight to the wine. The wine was cross flow filtered and prepared for bottling under screwcap to maintain freshness and quality.
Food Pairing: Fine seafood, chicken dishes and salads, or simply drink for pleasure!
