Located in Marlborough's cooler Awatere Valley, Clifford Bay's climatic influence plays a significant role in the varietal flavours of the selected vineyards. This wine is a pure example of concentrated Sauvignon Blanc displaying intense aromas of currant leaf, gooseberry and fresh lime intertwined with exotic herb notes. An explosive, concentrated palate gives way to a long mineral and steely finish. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Hand harvested bunches were destemmed and crushed. For maturation, the juice was then left on the lees for two months until it was racked to ferment in a tank. Subsequently, the resulting wine was gently fined out and filtered before bottling.
