20 Sauvignon Blanc

After the most unusual vintage in the 38 years we have been making Sauvignon, we have produced a superbly concentrated wine that we are sure you will enjoy. Passionfruit and lime drive this wine, the lively palate has a creamy texture and a juicy finish. 

Hunter’s Sauvignon Blanc is produced using our very best Estate grown fruit from our Wairau Valley vineyards. This area of Marlborough is famed for producing a ripe, tropical style of Sauvignon Blanc.  

We are proud that this wine is Certified Vegan by the NZ Vegetarian Society.

The grapes were harvested over a three-week period. The juice was pressed off and settled before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. A small portion of the blend was fermented in large French oak barrels to provide texture and complexity.

After a brief period of aging on fine lees, the wine was blended, and Estate bottled.
