With sauvignon blanc grapes of such quality, minimal winemaking means the finer aromatics and flavours are preserved. At the winery, the grapes were chilled, gently pressed, and the juice cold-settled before fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Sauvignon Blanc ’23

Te Mata Tasting Note
The finest, lightest, gold in the glass – with dancing, lime highlights – Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’23 jumps with the aromas of bright gooseberry and lemon zest, yellow guava and luscious grapefruit. The palate that follows is mouthwatering in its concentration of ripe, tropical fruit. Notes of white fleshed nectarine, creaming soda and salinity build into a texture defined by freshness and balance that drives the wine powerfully towards its fine, fresh, finish. As a chilled aperitif, or as partner to seafood, Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’23 is a refined presence offering both intensity and precision.
