Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2022 750ml

JS89
We source the fruit for this wine exclusively from a blend of Marlborough sub-regions, giving Whitehaven a backbone of bright fruit character, well-balanced texture and a food-friendly finish. Our Sauvignon Blanc grapes were harvested in cool conditions throughout March, then pressed immediately with minimal skin contact. After cold settling, the clear juice was fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks at very low temperatures with selected yeast strains to preserve the inherent varietal characteristics and classic Marlborough flavors. Wines sat on light yeast lees in tank for up to two months prior to blending in June 2021.

James Suckling

"Aromas of passion fruit, sliced mangoes, fresh pineapple and thyme. Medium-bodied. Bright and tangy acidity, but has a flat finish."
