2022 Ant Moore A+ Sauvignon Blanc

This stylish Sauvignon Blanc has an intense herbaceous nose with racy acidity balanced with soft textural tropical notes of melon and mango in the mouth, and a clean long citrus finish.

Like their namesake, ant moore wines are free spirited. As a winemaker, Ant is an experimenter, a creative oenologist who sees – and does – things differently. From the introduction of wild ferments to the elimination of fining and barrel aging his Sauvignon Blanc, there is care and consideration in every ant moore wine that is usually reserved for wines well above their price point.

These grapes were selected from our most premium vineyards up in the Waihopai Valley and Wairau valley to provide a complex base that gives the sensory experience of layers of complexity and enjoyment. Stainless steel fermentation at between 12°C to 16°C using selected aromatic yeasts retains varietal character while a short period of lees contact and a small portion fermented in oak barrels contributes texture and roundness.
