Churton Wines Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandFrom Churton's organic and biodynamically farmed hillside vineyard above the Waihopai Valley, this was whole bunch pressed and native fermented long and slow in a mix of stainless and barrel, with each plot vinified separately and held on lees for 9 months prior to racking and bottling. Big and intense with potent gooseberry, lemongrass, tangerine, lime on a punchy, bright palate. The wood gives a nice creaminess to the palate, while the altitude and attention give is a shining freshness. Drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 20 July 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
