Te Mata Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes used to craft this wine were harvested from lush vineyards, chilled and gently pressed, and cold-settled prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resultant wine shows a pale gold hue, giving off aromas of guava, lime blossom, passion fruit and floral notes from its luscious bouquet. The complex and intriguing palate is brimming with grape jelly, grapefruit, fresh lime and mineral nuances, leading to a lengthy and refreshing finale. The Sauvignon Blanc is ready for immediate consumption, with a cellaring potential of about 2 years. Pair it up with seafood, salads or lightly spiced Asian cuisine, best served chilled.
Nautilus Estate Sauvignon Blanc
The 2018 Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc displays intense lifted aromas of citrus peel, blackcurrant buds and fresh herbs. The palate introduces a delightful lime/citrus based mouth-watering intensity and finishes with a strong textural component. The fruit was machine harvested at night or in the cool of the morning, gently crushed and pressed then fermented with a variety of aromatic yeast strains in stainless steel tanks - the sole aim being to reflect and preserve the flavours and aromas grown in the vineyard. 10% of the juice fermentations were started with a non-saccharomyces yeast and 3% of the blend was barrel fermented. After fermentation, the wine was kept in contact with the lees for five months. This classic technique enhances creaminess and integrates flavours.
