Mahi Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml
Product Details
This wine shows an array of fruit characters, ranging from citrus through to tropical notes. This is complemented by some secondary characters from the natural yeast ferments and some barrel aging. The palate has an elegant structure with a creamy, textural mid-palate and a long finish.
The Mahi symbol represents the strength, life, and growth of the native New Zealand frond (fern), with the understanding that wine should never be rushed to bottle, respecting its ability to evolve naturally over time.
The hand-picked fruit was whole cluster pressed so that the time on skins was minimised. A portion of this juice, 11% this year, was barrel fermented in seasoned French barriques to give greater weight, though ensuring that wood is not evident on the nose. The balance of the wine was fermented cool to retain the fruit characters from our vineyards. The native ferment portion, 21%, also adds levels of flavour and texture, giving a savoury note that balances some sweeter fruit.
The final blend was made solely from free-run juice, as we feel it gives a more elegant and subtle wine, a key for us.
Wine Advocate Review:
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is green and tropical, loaded with passion fruit and honeydew melon; the palate is concentrated and juicy, and this will no doubt deeply please the cohort of Marlborough-savvy drinkers who lust after this quenching profile. Well played. 13.5% alcohol, stale under screw cap. Anticipated Maturity: 2024-2026
