2019 MOUNT BEAUTIFUL NORTH CANTERBURY SAUVIGNON BLANC
2019 MOUNT BEAUTIFUL NORTH CANTERBURY SAUVIGNON BLANC, NEW ZEALAND. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. (Sustainable)
From North Canterbury, on the South Island of New Zealand's eastern coastline, Mt Beautiful Sauvignon Blanc is not your typical New Zealand SB. By highlighting floral aromatics and tropical flavors such as guava and melon-like fruit, this wine tones down the grassiness and offers a creamy mid-palate all the way through to a fresh and bright crispness on the finish instead. It sets a new precedent for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
About: The majority of the Sauvignon Blanc is planted on the most northern part of the vineyard which is cooler and more suited to this variety. All of our Sauvignon Blanc is hand-thinned and machine harvested before it is pressed into juice on site. The planted clones are a mix of University of California Davis (UCD) 1 and Mass selection (MS) on a mix of 101-14, 3309 and Schwarzmann rootstock, with a quarter of the vines Bordeaux clones BDX 316 and BDX 317, on Riparia Gloire rootstock. The Bordeaux clones tend to give a definite lift to Sauvignon Blanc flavours, with less cut grass and more tropical flavours providing a more artisan style, balanced, elegant wine which compliments a range of foods.
