Couldn't load pickup availability
Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc is a sublime expression of Nelson's flavours which are unique to this corner of NZ. Bright, affirmative Sauvignon Blanc which positively rises above New Zealand's other regional Sauvignons in terms of raciness and texture.
Production
100% Sauvignon Blanc from vineyards in Tasman, Upper Moutere and Waimea Plains. Fruit was cold pressed to tank for fermentation, settled and racked, allowed to rest on fine lees for 8 months prior to slight filtration and bottling.
Tasting notes
A breezy, maritime nose of seagrass and salinity with pink citrus notes greets a palate of concentrated margarita zest, green and red apple notes with a rich mouthfeel, fine leesy texture and an intense finish of breadth, freshness and further telltale salinity. Feels like a breezy walk on a sunny beach.
Food match
Scallops seared in butter, chilli prawn linguine, goats cheese and roast red pepper salad.
