Reserve Clifford Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2024 6x75cl

The Clifford Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a pure expression of Marlborough's Awatere Valley. Aromas of fresh snow pea, jalapeño and kafir lime reflect the cooler, windier conditions of this subregion. Lively acidity carries delicate flavours of raspberry and lemon zest to a long and persistent finish.

Vineyards

Taylors Pass vineyard has a very varies soil profile of deep stilts to free draining gravels and large river stones. These soils coupled with slightly warmer conditions produces very elegant, textural wines with characters of lemon grass, fresh raspberries and jalapeño.

Vintage

Low rainfall over winter and cooler weather at flowering resulted in a reduced crop yield for the 2024 harvest. The growing season progressed with Marlborough's classic dry conditions, warm days and cool nights. The idyllic weather and low crops produced pristine grapes with concentrated flavours and fresh acidity.

Winemaking

100% stainless steel fermentation using selected aromatic and textural yeast strains. Carefully monitored for a period of time on lees to help build palate weight and texture.

Delicious with seafood, especially freshly shucked oysters.
