Bull Paddock Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

The nose is full of vibrant aromas of passionfruit, guava and tropical fruit, with a note of blackcurrant bud. The palate showcases the memorable Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc characters of passionfruit, blackcurrant and guava. The ripe fruit flavour is complemented by an intriguing saline minerality and with a focused, and approachable acidity.

Winemaking

Marlborough’s trademark sunshine meant that summer was consistently hot, dry, and windy – removing disease pressure, while fruit development progressed rapidly. The near-perfect conditions during harvest meant our grapes were picked at full ripeness, while some cooler evenings ensured that acidity was kept in balance. The Bull Paddock Vineyard is located only minutes from our winery, which allows us to minimise skin contact before pressing, capturing all the expressive fruit flavours and aromas. After harvesting, the grapes were gently pressed before individual parcels were batch fermented in stainless steel, using a selection of yeast strains chosen to give palate weight.
