Forefathers Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand 2023

Forefathers Sauvignon Blanc is a single- vineyard wine produced from the 19 acre Wax Eye Vineyard on Hawksbury Road in Marlborough. The glacial soils offer the vines good water retention and this glacial minerality often shows itself in the finished wine. Machine harvested at 2:00 am for maximum cold temperatures, immediately pressed and inoculated. 100% stainless steel cold fermented. Aged on the lees for 3 months to accentuate creaminess.

This wine has a nice straw color. The nose is fresh, zesty, juicy and full, with ripe tropical fruit. The palate has sublte white nectarine and passionfruit notes. These tropical fruits meld well with a flinty finish and a mouthwatering crisp finish of wet stone and saline.
