Ant Moore Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandAnthony “Ant” Moore is an Oz in Marlborough, New Zealand, arriving there in 2002. In addition to his own winery, he also started his own custom crush facility to help other small growers, making him a central figure among independent winemakers in Marlborough. For this vintage, fruit is sourced from the Lower Wairau (57%), the Waihopai Valley (22%), Rapaura (13%), and a small component from the Awatere Valley (8%). Post-ferment, the individual parcels held separate on light lees to help maintain freshness before final selection and blending. Pungent and bright, with fragrant and juicy lemongrass, lychee, guava, tightened with lime pith and finishing with a vibrant buzz.
