The 2012 Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc is zippy & alive with bright nettle leaf, dried seasonal hops & tropical characters. The palate is fresh & clean showing crisp mineral acidity & dried herb notes. The wine leaves a lasting impression. In the vineyard, leaves were removed from around the fruiting zone to allow light penetration & air movement around the ripening bunches. Parcels of fruit were picked when flavours, sugars & grape acids were nicely in balance, giving fruit with intensely varietal flavours & a fresh, lasting acidity. Edens Road is our newest vineyard development with Sauvignon Blanc vines being established there in 2008. With really free draining, stone soils, this site is adjacent to the Wairoa River, & results in lovely fruit minerality. The fruit tends to show exceptional varietal intensity & purity. The Brightwater Vineyard is situated 15 kilometres from the coast & is sheltered from the south by the Richmond Ranges. The soil is a combination of rocks & boulders which is very hard on the farm equipment, but vital for holding the warmth of Nelsons sun & for ripening the grapes. The Rabbit Island Vineyard is situated on a wide river flat. The soil is gravelly sandy loam, which is very sandy & free draining. These vineyards are about 1.5 kilometres from the sea, which helps moderate temperatures. ...
