2023 Kelly Washington Organic Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough
Not your average Kiwi Savvy with wet stone and struck flint leading the charge closely followed by grapefruit and sweet spices. The linear acidity cuts through this medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc finishing with good fruit concentration and a long length.

Vinous
Smart, silky and sexy the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc has clearly been carefully tended with its seamless texture and fine concentration. Indeed, it’s one of the minority being hand picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented in French oak puncheons before maturing on lees for 11 months, which explains its rounded shoulders and creamy caress. And yet, it retains its bright, tangy citrus acidity refreshing the palate. Flavors of elderflower, nectarine, blackcurrant, white talc, and a subtle hint of spiced toast linger on the medium-long finish. Very sharp and moreish.
