Description

Waimea Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes grown on two selected vineyards on the Waimea Plains. Seven unique vineyard plots were harvested separately and gently pressed, with only the free-run and lightly pressed juice fractions retained. Each component was fermented cool with selected aromatic yeast strains to preserve the grape variety’s intensity and character. The wine was aged on light lees for a further three months and then clarified by racking before careful blending. The wine has received numerous awards.
