Niche New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Dozen

Tasting Notes: Medium Straw to pale green. Passion fruit and riper citrus dominate the nose. The palate follows in fruit flavour profile. A fine but well integrated acidity directs these intense primary flavours, giving flesh and texture and also cleansing the palate in a food friendly manner. Fruit was sourced from vineyards across New Zealand’s premium viticultural regions. It was picked then lightly pressed in a cool environment with the resulting juice transferred to tank for a cold settling period of up to 3 days. Clear juice was then racked to stainless tanks, warmed and inoculated with a select yeast strain to allow the intrinsic qualities of our vineyard sites to shine. Fermentation on average lasted 3 weeks at low temperatures to retain maximum varietal character, after which the wine was removed from their ferment lees before spending time on light lees to develop further palate richness and flavour. Following this the individual parcels were blended and prepared for bottling. Make to drink upon release while the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant although will develop more complexity over the short term.
