    TASTING NOTE The 2022 Alpine Rift Sauvignon Blanc is an elegant interpretation of the classic Marlborough style. Hints of nectarine, black currant leaf and passionfruit on the nose are underpinned by a ripe, richly textured palate and crisp, citrus finish.

    VITICULTURE Fruit was sourced from three exceptional vineyards in Marlborough’s Southern Valley’s, Central Wairau Plains and Awatere Valley. A combination of heavier loess clay and free-draining, alluvial soils, naturally low yields and open canopies allowed the vines to ripen small, golden bunches of intensely flavoured fruit.

    WINEMAKING Picked during the cooler hours of the day, before sunrise and after sunset, the fruit was harvested by machine and transported directly to the winery where it was gently pressed and cold settled for three days.  The juice was racked to a combination of stainless-steel tanks and old French oak puncheons where a mix of cultured and indigenous ‘wild’ yeast were allowed to ferment the juice through to dryness. Each batch was left on lees and kept separate until May when the blend was assembled prior to bottling in July.

    ALC: 13.0%      pH: 3.3     T.A: 6.9g/L
