From Marlborough's first vineyard and winery, founded in 1873 – 100 years before the first commercial plantings took root. This is a intensely aromatic and concentrated wine, the rich, textural palate loaded with green mango, passionfruit, elderflower and lime leaf notes.
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Single Vineyard offers up a classic nose of green aromas and tropical fruit, with jalapeno and capsicum flavors residing alongside pineapple candy and passionfruit. The denser soils of the Auntsfield estate compared with say, the alluvial valley floor, give greater weight and texture to the wine, providing more intrigue and interest than the average Marlborough Sauvignon. It is dry, clean and purposeful with a lingering finish. Enjoy when young for its vigor.
Peach, passion fruit and lemon-lime open this ripe, rounded wine, with white blossom and a grassy pungency below. The palate is broad in shape, dry and crunchy, with lovely citrus fruit, texture, length and heaps of refreshment.
