Te Mata Vineyard Select Sauvignon Blanc 24 750ml

Palest Citrine with gold highlights in the glass, Estate Sauvignon Blanc ’23 is immediately impactful on the nose - there’s lemon verbena, passionfruit, white peach, guava and ripe fresh lime zest. Aromas of lemongrass, sea salt, and creaming soda lead to a rich palate that is long yet balanced, dry yet concentrated, driving, expressive, and dangerously moreish.

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.

• Estate Sauvignon Blanc ’23 can be enjoyed immediately upon release and will continue to develop in bottle for two years from harvest.
• Estate Sauvignon Blanc ’23 is best served chilled, either as a refreshing pre-dinner glass of wine, or with salads, seafood dishes and lightly spiced foods.
• The grapes for Estate Sauvignon Blanc were harvested from Te Mata Estate’s own vineyards in the Bridge Pā Triangle, Dartmoor and Havelock Hills sub-region of Hawke’s Bay.
