Te Mata 'Cape Crest' Sauvignon Blanc Hawke's Bay, 2021

Regular price $38.00

This wine is 87% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Sauvignon Gris, and 4% Semillon, all from Te Mata's estate vineyards in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Unlike most of its 'cousins' this Sauvignon Blanc based wine is made in the style of Bordeaux Blanc. A fuller wine, which sees some oak barrel fermentation, it is full of aromas and flavors of Passion fruit, grapefruit and pear. Pair with a simple grilled chicken or your favorite goat cheese.

Details

Vinification
The separate parcels were each destemmed and lightly crushed, then cooled before a brief period of skin contact. Following pressing and cold-settling, they were run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for fermentation. The resulting wines were aged on lees, with regular stirring, for a further 11 months before bottling in February 2022.

Tasting Notes
A bright and pale straw color, The Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2021 immediately offers up notes of guava, lime juice, white nectarine and white peach, that all lead into a palate exploding with tropical fruit, salinity, and a fine, crystalline acidity. The perfect match for a plump fresh oyster in its half shell, the complexing notes of woodsmoke, grapefruit and juniper in Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2021 make it satisfy now yet more than capable of aging. Moreish and complex, this a wine of immense reward.
