WAIRAU VALLEY, MARLBOROUGH
 Reserve Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023
 A classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough's Wairau Valley. 
Bursting with tropical fruit characters found in this warmer subregion, this wine 
displays punchy aromas of passionfruit and blackcurrant. The palate has an 
enticing and complex array of rich citrus fruits mixed with ripe herbs finishing 
with fresh and juicy acidity.
 Low rainfall over winter and cooler weather at flowering resulted in reduced 
crop yield for the 2024 harvest. The growing season progressed with 
Marlborough's classic dry conditions, warm days and cool nights. The idyllic 
weather and low crops produced pristine grapes with concentrated flavours 
and fresh acidity.
