Gently destemmed with partly whole berries. Long, cold maceration to extract the flavours from the skins. After gentle pressing, the wine embarked upon a natural wild yeast fermentation to express it’s unique terroir in 500 litre French oak puncheons. The wine was left on its fine lees (sur lie), and regularly stirred for exquisite silkiness, complexity and depth. After 22 month of maturation in the puncheons, this wine was bottled with no cold stabilization or fining and only light filtration to retain the beautiful aromas.

Tasting Note: Marlborough, yet a world apart, this Sauvignon Blanc rivals the finest Bordeaux Blancs. Full-bodied and poised, Sauvignon Blanc delivers vibrant aromatics and fresh acidity, while Sémillon adds body and silk. Ripe fruit sweetness of lychee, pineapple and honeydew melon is shaped by mineral tension from gravelly soils. Extended lees contact brings a seamless, silky texture, finishing with elegance, purity and quiet power.

Origin: Marlborough, New Zealand

Blend: 85% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Semillon

Goes well with

A dream with seafood, think seared scallops, grilled prawns, or buttery lobster. It also pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, creamy pasta, or soft, bloomy cheeses. For plant-based pairings, try it with asparagus risotto or citrus-dressed salad.

Hans Herzog

New Zealand is not short of premium grape growers and winemakers but, for us, Hans Herzog stands among the very best. They have been selected by us for their organic, handmade, and characterful, wines that are full of charm and depth of fruit.

Here, all of the grapes are grown on their organic vineyard - one of Marlborough's best sites - then handpicked, produced, and bottled on the estate!

To go that extra step, even the bottling, labelling, and packaging, is all done at the winery to ensure the quality is never compromised.
