The 2021 Alpine Rift Sauvignon Blanc is an elegant interpretation of the classic Marlborough style. Hints of nectarine, black currant leaf and passionfruit on the nose are underpinned by a ripe, richly textured palate and crisp, citrus finish.
Sourced from the historic Aunstield Vineyard in Marlborough’s Southern Valley’s sub-region. A combination of heavier loess clay soil, naturally low yields and open canopies allowed the vines to ripen small, golden bunches of intensely flavoured fruit.
Aromas such as rain on gravel, meadow grass, and honeyed pears are subtle and gentle. The palate is crisp yet
packed with richness and pizzazz. Notes of oregano and gooseberry ride on a wave of crunchy, fine acidity.
