10 Sisters Marlborough Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2023 [Gold]

Gold Medal, San Francisco IWC. 

"Geek Fact"....This Fabulous sauvignon blanc was selected by George Lucas (yes the Star Wars genius) to be poured at his wedding a few years back. Beat that for name dropping.

Aroma: Classic sauvignon blanc aromas with appetizing tropical fruit and minerality. A delightfully fragrant and complex bouquet. Palate: Bright, juicy, and elegant with refined acidity and ripe flavors. Good concentration and length on the palate, excellent structure, and a well-balanced finish.

Winemaker’s Comments: Grape yields were back to higher yields this vintage and our vineyard location in the Lower Wairau allowed for later ripening that benefitted from stunning late harvest weather, escaping the botrytis that impacted some vineyards. Our single-vineyard sourcing gives Ten Sisters a rare purity of flavours. Our grapes were quickly processed to retain the freshness and flavor for which Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is renowned. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and left on the lees for three months prior to bottling.
