Tasting note
Whitehaven captures Marlborough's essence with a crisp, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc. Vibrant grapefruit, lemongrass, and fresh-snipped greens form a superbly balanced palate. Zesty, smooth, and elegant with white peach, pear, and tropical hints. Revel in its long, clean finish, an exceptional expression of the varietal's charm
Vinification
Our Sauvignon Blanc grapes were destemmed, but not crushed before being lightly pressed with minimal skin contact. In order to achieve a high degree of clarity, we allowed the free run juice to settle. Fermentation took place in upright stainless steel tanks at very low temperatures for up to 30 days.
