About The Wine
Our aim with this, our classic style of Sauvignon Blanc, is to put 100% effort into making a wine that silences the doubters and restores faith in this region and the amazing quality of the wines from here. This 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend from two specially selected vineyards in two different subregions of Marlborough. One of the vineyards are in the upper Awatere Valley—Shamrock—and the second is our certified organic TWR home block, here in Renwick.
The growing conditions in the Awatere are characterised by cooler temperatures and slower ripening than in the Wairau, which is all important for flavour development and ripe acidity. The wines from this sub-region tend to be more restrained in their youth but have great texture, structure and longevity. Our home block, the warmer days of the Wairau Valley and a bigger diurnal range. These climatic factors, combined with our clay loam soil here, results in wines which have great texture and fleshiness and are characterised by riper tropical notes with stone-fruit with a lovely line of minerality.
