Sea Cove Sauvignon Blanc

Hailed as one of New Zealand’s most sunny and dry regions, Maori referred to the Wairau Valley as ‘Kei puta te Wairau’ – ‘The place with the hole in the cloud’. Old, gravely riverbed soils, and diverse aspects and rainfall create numerous meso-climates within this sub-region. The vineyards are carefully divided into management
blocks specific to soil type, vine age and character. The farming and growing philosophy is of a “light touch”: they take a 100-year view on every decision they make on the farm and vineyards, farming in the best way they know how with the goal of leaving their lands in better shape than when they began. The estate is certified sustainable in the vineyards and winery through Sustainable Wine Growing NZ. Intense aromas and flavors of makrut lime, tropical passion fruit, citrus, orange blossom and hints of herbs. Refreshing with zippy citrus, stony minerals, and a linear structure - great on its own or to be paired with fish, shellfish or white meat.
