Delta Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Delta Estate Sauvignon Blanc reveals all the hallmarks of a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with layers of passionfruit, grapefruit, lemon zest and blackcurrant. There's a steely minerality on the finish making for a super refreshing, zippy Sauvignon that's oh-so-moreish!

Delta Estate Sauvignon Blanc is selected from a single vineyard in the Dillons Point area of Marlborough. Close to the ocean, this sub-region experiences long hot days balanced by the effect of cooling sea breezes at night. The 2022 vintage started with cool spring weather which extended the length of flowering, leading to open bunches. A long and hot growing season led to lower crop levels with increased intensity of expressive tropical characteristics. Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, the fruit was continually monitored until a balance of flavour, acidity and physiological ripeness was reached.During a cool evening, the vineyard was machine harvested and the grapes quickly transported to the winery where they were destemmed and pressed. After settling, the juice was fermented at cool temperatures and racked off lees quickly to retain the vibrant fruit flavours and freshness of this Sauvignon Blanc.
