2009 White Label Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note Fruit blended together from some of our unique vineyards in the Hawkes Bay has produced a wine of exquisite freshness, flavour and approachability. Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc is generally softer and more approachable than its Marlborough cousin, Passionfruit, gooseberry and red capsicum envelop the nose and entice the taste buds, while subtle lime peel aromas are also present. Passionfruit and capsicum flavours dominate a palate that finishes with a lengthy acidic zing. A prime example of the extraordinary drinkability of Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Great as a summer BBQ or lunchtime aperitif and/or an accompaniment to seafood cuisine. Best consumed within 2 years of the bottling date.
