The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc leads with an interesting, restrained nose of crushed rocks, shells, juniper, white oak, autumn leaves and green apple skins. In the mouth, the wine is very good. While powerful, it doesn’t descend to sweet or bulbous; this shows structural detail and fruit power in equal measure. Not your “usual” Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, but it honors the regional style in a fresh and almost geological way. Like it.
A flinty, mineral character mingles with fleshy melon, lime leaf and dried wild herbs on this organic Sauvignon Blanc. There’s a lovely tangy freshness amid the chalky textural elements. While still quite young, this is, in general, a step up from your average Marlborough SB. It captures the world-famous style while adding an extra level of complexity and class.
