2024 Te Pa Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

The 2024 te Pa Sauvignon Blanc is beautifully perfumed with notes of white peach, guava, feijoa, fresh peas and nettle. The palate is super concentrated and precise, with zesty citrus and summer stone fruit flavors, complimented by subtle hints of jalapeno, sage, and wet river stones. This wine possesses crisp, refreshing acidity and a unique mineral saline finish.

A great match with all seafood, particularly shellfish. The crisp flavors work well with fresh summer salads or soft goat cheese.

TASTING NOTES:

This 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of the Hillside and Beachside vineyards, and the wine has both minerality and salinity; it is crunchy and full of fruit flavor, kept on the rails by rocks, shells, phenolics and acid. It’s excellent. The wine speaks of the places from whence it came. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

– Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 92 pts

Aromas of orchids, lemons and cut grass. The palate is light-bodied with a focused acidity, giving notes of quince, green pears and bell peppers. Fresh and pure.
