A pure example of tank fermented single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc made from hand harvested fruit. Tropical fruit salad with freshly rubbed sage, this wine exhibits Te Muna Road’s bright acidity and mouth filling texture.

Winemakers Notes
WINEMAKING
The grapes harvested, then pressed and left to settle overnight. The juice was fermented cool in stainless steel to
preserve the fruit flavours. The ferment was completed, then the wine racked off heavy lees to preserve the
purity of the fruit, with the light lees to give the wine some roundness. The wine was stabilised and gently
filtered for clarity. No fining agents were added.

Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is softly full, with aromas of sweet, tropical fruit, elderflower and a hint of grassy nuance. Medium-light bodied, aromas of guava and passionfruit entwined with elderflower, lime zest, grass and saline. Fine-textured phenolics fill the palate and lend an almost unctuous mouthfeel; fresh acidity flows smoothly with herbaceous notes to a dry, crisp finish. This Sauvignon Blanc possesses a fresh, textural line with savoury, tropical nuances.
