Ata Rangi Te Wa Sauvignon Blanc (screw cap) 2020

A deep concentrated style, with 40% whole bunch fermentation, skin contact gives an intense aromatic profile of nectarine, fennel flowers, melon and manuka honey. Spicey notes of cardamon pod follow through to an intense, concentrated, and powerful palate. This is a serious style of Sauvignon Blanc far removed from what has come to be expected from NZ. We feel this is a unique expression of the small 2021 harvest, with palate weight that is long, dry and balanced. A fantastic food wine.
