Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc Nelson
Just £12.99, 'mouth-watering', gold medal-winning, 95 point Decanter World Wine Awards.
Here's what the judges said:
“A bracingly pure style, bustling with fragrant gooseberries, passionfruit and vivacious nettle greens and underpinned by a zesty lemon core of sustaining acidity. Svelte and mouth-watering.”
Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc Nelson - Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc is a sublime expression of Nelson's falvours which are unique to this corner of NZ. Bright, affirmative Sauvignon Blanc which positively rises above New Zealand's other regional Sauvignons in terms of raciness and texture.
A breezy, maritime nose of seagrass and salinity with pink citrus notes greets a palate of concentrated margarita zest, green and red apple notes with a rich mouthfeel, fine leesy texture and an intense finish of breadth, freshness and further telltale salinity.
The fruit was picked in late February, pressed to tank for fermentation, settled and racked, allowed to rest on fine lees for 8 months prior to slight filtraqtion and bottling.
Sold in cases of six bottles
