Cable Bay
Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2022 750ml

This wine grabs you from the moment it enters the glass, conveying all the characteristics of the Awatere river region. You are firstly hit with a flintiness, as if two river stones have been smashed together, which gives way to the fruit hidden beneath; Lime zest, guava and passionfruit. The alluvial gravel and ocean influenced terroir of this site gives a chalky mineral element to the wine which is reminiscent of lime sorbet, the salinity fits in with the well-directed crisp acid for a long finish. Lees ageing contributes further complexity and weight to the palate. All of these elements come together for a refreshingly complex and in balance Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
