Tasting note
Juicy, drinkable and far, far less strident than the average NZ Sauvignon Blanc, this offers rich texture, a mouthful of herbs and tea and a heady waft of citrus, elderflower and honeycomb.
Viticulture
The fruit for this wine comes from some of Seresin Estates oldest vines, on the upper terraces of the Seresin Noa Vineyard. The vineyard is made up of a variety of Waimakiriri type soils of alluvial origin with free draining basalt pebbles.
Vinification
Hand-sorted fruit pressed to barrel. Natural fermentation in French oak, 11% new. Malolactic in barrel. Aged 18 months on lees, blended, lightly filtered, bottled before release.
Food Match
A complex wine well matched to seafood, shellfish and will compliment a rich sauce or bisque.
