GRAPE: Sauvignon BlancCOUNTRY: New Zealand
750ML
12% ABV
New Zealand's maritime region of Marlborough is hugely influenced by the oceans that surround this island nation. The image of a mermaid (‘Te Merio’ in Cook Island Maori language) seemed an enticing choice to break the mould of the more traditional labels currently being offered.
Classically aromatic Marlborough Sauv. Blanc with a gently maritime tang of minerality. It's full of texture and breadth with zesty citrus and white stone fruits. Luscious gooseberry aromas follow through into the palate where it explodes with a full on citrus zing that is balanced by fantastic texture and weight. The finish is clean, crisp and refreshing.
The wine is dominated by 50% Awatere Valley fruit, with vineyards located on both sides of the river in three sub-regions. Soils on the south bank are deep silt loams and fertile, while the north bank sites are stony, shallow silt loams, and lighter in structure.
