Lake Road Sauvignon Blanc - Marlborough NZ 2022

 

 

Award-winning 2022 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, from New Zealand, reveals delightful aromas of citrus, herbaceous greens, and lemongrass. On the palate, its characteristically crisp finish is further enhanced by notes of rockmelon. Enjoy this vintage's sweet kiwifruit, feijoa, jalapeno, and lime peel aromas, and its succulent, vibrant palate, best served chilled. With such a low yield, this exquisite, classically expressed vintage is highly sought-after.

WINEMAKING

The grapes were machine harvested and pressed, with the juice settled and then racked to stainless steel tanks. The juice was inoculated with two different yeasts and went through a controlled cool fermentation. The wine spent a little time on lees post ferment and was then stabilised and cross flow filtered before being prepared for bottling.

"Beautifully fruited and aromatic with kiwifruit, feijoa, jalapeno and lime peel aromas on the nose, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate that’s succulent and vibrant. Upfront and classically expressed with a lengthy delectable finish."
