Te Whare Ra Single Vineyard Sauv Blanc 2022 750ml

This 2022 SV release shows gorgeous white stone-fruit and a great florality coupled with lovely ripe tropicals and hints of basil and lime. These follow through to the palate – which is fine and weighty with vibrant fleshy fruit and great texture balanced by a ripe, juicy acidity and lingering minerality. This wine is deliciously drinkable upon release but will also benefit from some time in your cellar if you choose to do so.

This wine is all about fruit weight and texture which is achieved with low crops, meticulous canopy management and lots of attention to detail with fruit selection. The focus was making a wine which has great texture and fleshiness and which is characterised by lots of layers and complexity with notes of ripe tropical notes with stone-fruit and citrus with a lovely line of ripe minerality.

Cellaring Recommendation: 4-7 years
