Gladstone, New Zealand. The wine has an initial brightness and clarity of fruit , before the darker, brooding notes come out on the nose. Black cherry and dark plum come forward on the palate, with a softness and suppleness of ripe tannins giving a rounded structure and lasting aftertaste. Some bright red berry flavours are balanced with subtle spice and savoury characteristics that enhance and lengthen the palate. Drink now or cellar for up to five years...

Marlborough, New Zealand. 'Single Vineyard' Sauvignon Blanc harvested from the volcanic Greywacke stone soils of the ‘Utawai Creek’ vineyard.

Vibrant and dry, with a racy acid backbone, delicate and intense with distinctive minerality, flintiness, and a very long finish. We like this wine with fresh seafood, great with Japanese dishes...
