Windrush Marlborough Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2024 / NZ-BIO-003 / L1

Klassischer, zu einem kleinen Teil (10%) fassvergorener, sehr expressiver Marlborough Sauvignon. Im Auftakt mundwässernd und ganz dezent grasig, dazu jede Menge Frucht von Johannis- über Stachelbeeren, Pampelmusen, Maracuja, Guave und Zitronen. Dabei alles sehr natürlich und stimmig. Perfektes Säurespiel macht den Abgang frisch und spritzig. Exzellente Tiefe und Intensität.
Perfekt zur Terrine de Courgettes

This wine is produced from grapes grown at two family-owned vineyards located approximately 5km apart. Windrush Vineyard is located on SH63 and the soil is a consistent layer of fine loam over clay. Terrace Stone Vineyard is on Hammond Road closer to Renwick. This vineyard has lovely soil that lends itself well to organic viticulture with a deep layer of fine stones mixed with silt and loam over clay. The vineyard is surrounded by trees, creating a sheltered environment that promotes vigorous spring growth and contributes to a unique micro-climate that aids in ripening the fruit, resulting in a riper style of wine.

Winemakers comments: The wine presents a captivating bouquet of guava, mango, citrus, and passionfruit, which transitions seamlessly into a luscious palate bursting with tropical fruits and elderflower notes. A refreshing citrus acidity ties all the flavours together harmoniously. The wine is impeccably balanced, with a delightful hint of salinity that beckons for another sip.
Winemaking: This wine was harvested from two organic family vineyards at the peak of ripeness using machine harvesting. The grapes were destemmed and pressed, then left on the skins for one hour to enhance flavour complexity. The wine was then fermented, with 90% in stainless steel and 10% in barrels. The barrel fermentation included a combination of inoculated and wild yeasts, resulting in a unique flavour profile. Additionally, the wine underwent weekly lees stirring in the barrel, which contributed to its intense richness.
Your favourite recipe for this wine:

• Shellfish – think oysters, mussels (especially the green lipped ones from New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc with its bright acidity will cut through the richness of the shellfish
• Grilled fresh fish like snapper, tuna, cod and groper
• Fresh spring green vegetables like asparagus, peas, beans
• Goats cheese

Vintage: The vintage of 2024 has proven to be exceptional, characterised by unique weather conditions and an outstanding harvest. Marlborough faced a very dry winter, followed by isolated spring frost events, resulting in fewer and smaller bunches than usual. This season also witnessed record-breaking dryness and sunshine, leading to drought conditions being declared in mid-March. Fortunately, timely rain revitalised our vineyards, preventing berry shrivelling and ensuring a healthy crop. The warm, sunny days and smaller yields prompted our harvest to commence about one week earlier than usual. The cooler nights helped maintain excellent acidity levels while disease pressure remained remarkably low.
