Auntsfield Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown at the Auntsfield Estate. The wine shows the distinctive characteristics of ripeness, texture and minerality – qualities unique to the ancient Greywacke rock and Loess clay soils of the vineyard.
Auntsfield Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc aims to produce a distinctive style of Sauvignon Blanc. A style aimed towards texture, complexity and length, with a balance of the typical Marlborough fruit spectrum with aromatics, richness and an enticing mouth feel.
Pale straw in colour. It has lifted and pure aromas of fresh passionfruit, ripe citrus and lime. Notes of dried herbs, lemongrass, jalapeno and blackcurrant contribute to the pungency and intensity of the aromatics. Powerful, tight and elegant on the palate. A wine of intense ripe fruit flavours of passionfruit juice and white peach, with citrus notes of lime and mandarin pith. Balance comes from an underlying minerality and tight structure to shape the wine, with lively tension and textural balance.
