2022 Tai Tira Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

AROMA: Classically fresh with orange blossom, citrus, paw paw and bell pepper. PALATE: Crisp and refreshing on the palate, with exceptional purity and elegant from start to finish.

The 21/22 season is one for the books. Winter rains replenished parched soils and broke a three-year drought. A warm and wet winter continued into spring, bringing lush growth to the vines, a perfect flowering and an abundance of fruit. January was warm and dry, and decisions to reduce yields on almost every block ensured quality was the driver. This was beneficial as February saw a significant rain event, followed by cool weather, slowing ripening and retaining acids. March was near perfect weather wise, other than several days of evening rain. By harvest, fruit had concentration of flavour and vibrancy.
