From the introduction of wild ferments to the elimination of fining and barrel aging his Sauvignon Blanc, there is care and consideration in every Ant Moore wine that is usually reserved for wines well above their price point.
This stylish Sauvignon Blanc has an intense herbaceous nose with racy acidity balanced with soft textural tropical notes of melon and mango in the mouth, and a clean long citrus finish. These grapes were selected from their most premium vineyards up in the Waihopai Valley and Wairau valley to provide a complex base that gives the sensory experience of layers of complexity and enjoyment. Stainless steel fermentation at between 12°C to 16°C using selected aromatic yeasts retains varietal character while a short period of lees contact and a small portion fermented in oak barrels contributes texture and roundness.
This is a zippy Sauvignon Blanc with flavours and aromas of tropical island fruit, peach, lemon, grapefruit, and fresh cut grass. Laser-like acidity and a long finish.
