Pale yellow colour. Good bubble detachment. Thanks to its ageing, it has developed a fine aroma with fruit hints. Its well balanced structure, elegance and sensorial richness form an unmistakable personality.
COLOR: ????Pale straw with light green-gold highlights.
AROMA: Saturated aromas of passionfruit, lime zest and pink grapefruit dominate the subtle signature of Waihopai minerality - a lovely combination of citrus based bath salts and warm river stone.
PALATE: This classic tropical tinged, citrus based aromatic theme drives a palate that is crisp and fruit focused whilst bright acid edges add length, structure and an overall sense of liveliness.
FOOD MATCHING: Whilst classically matched with most seafood why not push the boundaries and try the Ned Sauvignon Blanc 2016 with a twice baked Chèvre soufflé, served with a rocket, apple and walnut salad.
Straw yellow with green reflections. Fine, penetrating aroma with fragrances of acacia and hawthorne, green apple and pear. Fresh, balanced, and full on the palate, with a deliciously bitter note.
Colour: Deep amber/ochre fading to a rusty orange and translucent fireside embers brown with and a olive rim.
Nose: The bouquet immediately proclaims the age and class of the wine. Freshly toasted pecan nuts, figs, fresh cream toffee and creme brûlée with English breakfast tea, mandarin citrus peel and hints of maple syrup.
Palate: Sweet and rich with an aged orange peel and honey marmalade middle with candied fruit, citrus and apricot. It has a drying finish thanks to the extremely
complex and fresh rancio, and an almost electric, piecing intensity.
Drink: With a zesty nose, three dimensional and refreshing palate, this wine is delicious served moderately chilled as an aperitif.
