Blind River Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Awatere Valley, Marlborough

From Marlborough’s Awatere Valley, the vineyard sits between the Southern Alps and the Pacific Ocean. Deep, stony, clay soils on river terraces, the vineyard’s five blocks vinified individually before being carefully blended to achieve the ultimate in style and quality. Aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, green apples and a fresh herbaceousness lead to intense flavours – the barrel-ferment portion adds complexity while mineral characters provide backbone. Wonderful with goats’ or feta cheese, fresh seafood, or dressed Mediterranean salads.
