2019 Te Pa 'Oke' Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

Winemaker Notes:Aromatically the wine gives impressions of oyster shells, citrus blossom, and dried herbs, all supported by lightly smoked oak with a hint of flint and vanilla pod. The palate is equally as complex and generous. Poached pear and melon are balanced by fennel and lime driven citrus. The oak provides a savory foil to the wine; salted caramel and vanilla notes combined with marzipan and spice. This wine is a celebration of Marlborough and is perfectly suited to fresh seafood and light poultry dishes.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Aromas of white tea, chamomile and lemon peel. Medium-bodied. Fresh, mineral-laced citrus and apple fruit wash over the palate. Almost comes across like a chardonnay. There is richness in the mid-palate. Seamless and silky. Sustainable. Vegan. Drink or hold."
