A vibrant and expressive Sauvignon Blanc from the Dillons Point region of Marlborough, the 2022 Hawksdrift Unoaked Sauvignon Blanc showcases the purity of fruit from this family-owned vineyard. The warm, long-ripening season of the site, sheltered by the Wither Hills, allows the grapes to develop rich summer flavours while retaining freshness.
Tasting Notes:
Pale straw in colour, the wine offers lifted aromas of gooseberry, passionfruit, and papaya. On the palate, tropical fruits and zesty citrus flavours are balanced by bright, refreshing acidity, carrying through to a long and clean finish.
Winemaking:
Fermented in stainless steel to preserve the pure fruit character, this wine is made without oak and with minimal intervention, allowing the natural flavours and aromatics of the vineyard to shine.
Food Pairing:
Ideal with seafood, sushi, or Asian-inspired dishes, where the wine’s vibrant fruit and crisp acidity complement a wide range of flavours.
ABV: 12.5%
