Rock Ferry Cawtes Cave Organic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Dozen

The Rock Ferry Cawtes Cave Organic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a beautifully expressive single vineyard wine that reflects both place and craftsmanship. Certified 100% organic, the grapes were hand-harvested in the cool of morning, with the juice carefully cold settled for 48 hours before fermentation in stainless steel, while a small portion was wild fermented in seasoned oak for added texture and complexity. Left to mature on fine lees for four months, the result is a Sauvignon Blanc of elegance and purity, brimming with tropical fruits, citrus zest and delicate florals. A fine mineral acidity runs the length of the palate, balanced by a subtle hint of oak that gives depth and structure. Critics have been glowing in their praise, with Sam Kim of Wine Orbit awarding it 93 points and describing it as superbly balanced, while Master Sommelier Cameron Douglas rated it 90 points, and Huon Hooke referred to Rock Ferry wines as “superb.” This is a wine of character, vibrancy and finesse, true to its Marlborough home. Perfect with fresh oysters, goats cheese salad, grilled seafood or Thai-inspired dishes, it offers a versatile food-pairing experience that highlights its refreshing acidity and textured finish. Certified 100% organic, this single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a standout example of Rock Ferry’s commitment to sustainable winemaking, delivering both authenticity and finesse.
