Red Hut - Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc 750ml
"Fruit was fully destemmed and chilled before being pressed into stainless steel vats. The juice was settled to near clarity, retaining a portion of fine solids. Cool fermentation took place on semi-solids to enhance texture. The wine was then matured on lees for two months with periodic tank stirring to build mouthfeel. No further additions were made post bottling.
Bright and expressive, with aromas of lime, gooseberry and passionfruit, alongside hints of lemongrass and fresh herbs. The palate is dry and lively, showing flavours of green apple, lime zest and tropical citrus. A subtle lees influence adds softness to the texture, while crisp acidity and a mineral edge give the wine a long, refreshing finish.
Awatere Valley
The Awatere Valley, located southeast of the Wairau in Marlborough, is a cooler, drier, and windier sub-region that produces a distinct style of both Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. Its proximity to the coast brings strong oceanic influences, while the valley’s elevated river terraces and stony, well-draining soils stress the vines just enough to produce grapes with concentrated flavour and vibrant acidity." - Red Hut
