Stoneleigh Latitude Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandThe grapes were harvested using Pellenc Selectiv harvesters and crushed to bag presses. The juice is quickly pressed off to minimize excessive phenolic extraction. Small amounts of the juice (18%) go to French oak for a bit of texture, while the rest goes to stainless steel. Some would say all Kiwis should present with this flavour intensity, and they wouldn’t be wrong. There is a certain opulence here that helps to tolerate the intense passionfruit and grapefruit, adding some balance to the mix. The minerality is a bonus and game changer in the finish. Well done, and we like the price.Tasted: 10 October 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $23.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
