The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation at controlled temperatures to preserve the vibrant fruit flavors and crisp acidity.

Perfect for those seeking a vibrant and elegant Sauvignon Blanc experience.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
A superb representation of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, this wine offers fresh tropical fruit notes with a touch of sea salt.It's lush, gently textured, and features flavors of gooseberry, kiwifruit, and a refined mineral undertone. The palate is rich, lively, and concentrated, ending elegantly with full-bodied richness. Best enjoyed over the next three years, though it's tempting to savor right away. The grapes were meticulously harvested at peak ripeness, with minimal skin contact to retain freshness. Ideal with freshly caught snapper and a Greek salad.
