Te Awanga Wildsong Hawke's Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2021
- Dry style
- Ripe stonefruit
- Honeysuckle
- Juicy acidity
"Fresh and beautifully lifted, the bouquet shows green apple, nectarine, lemon/lime peel and olive notes, leading to a vibrant palate delivering excellent fruit intensity backed by bright acidity, finishing mouth-watering and lingering. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2022
This is Hawke’s Bay in a glass. The nose is full of ripe nectarines and peaches with a lovely honey undertone. Intense in the mouth with honeysuckle, stone-fruit and cloves. A chalky texture and juicy acidity come through the palate and together complement the long, fine finish.
This Sauvignon Blanc comes from a blend of grapes from two distinctly different areas in Hawkes Bay. The majority of the blend is from vines planted in the late 1990’s at Mangatahi in Hawke’s Bay. The vineyard is situated on ancient alluvial shingle terraces high above the Ngaruroro River. As one of the most elevated vineyards in Hawke's Bay, its north facing slopes enjoy long and hot summer days but cool down overnight making this the perfect place for growing Sauvignon Blanc. The balance comes from our home block in Te Awanga. Characterised by shallow volcanic soils, an underlying clay pan and a fresh coastal climate, this portion brings intensity, a bright acidity and a long, chalky finish.
Grapes were harvested early in the morning, gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and intensity. A cool ferment and a couple of months resting on yeast lees before the wine was prepared for bottling has helped create a rich palate and a little more complexity.
Wildsong wines are uncomplicated and grounded with a gentle tale or two to tell of the soil they were grown in and the people who made them. Grown with respect, made with heart and packed with attitude. There’s a little Wildsong in each of us.
Contains Sulphites, fined using egg, milk and fish based products.
