2017 Hunky Dory Sauvignon Blanc
Hunky Dory
Grapes for this wine are sourced primarily from two vineyard sites in the Rapaura region of Marlborough. The Rapaura soils are a mixture of sandy soils, greywacke stone, clay and alluvial silts. The Huia Rapaura vineyard provides richly flavoured Sauvignon Blanc grapes with a wide breadth of tropical, passion fruit, guava and black currant flavours. The Anderlane vineyard is situated on the edge of the Rapaura region and these grapes impart the gooseberry and citrus flavours with the fine acidity of this area. The grapes were picked, gently pressed and underwent fermentation with organic yeast. The wine was then bottled with minimum additions and is vegan and vegetarian friendly
Ripe, fruity Sauvignon nose; a slight limey tinge but otherwise fleshy tropical fruits - guava, passionfruit. Juicy to taste, too, pretty much precisely as you'd expect from the nose; a grassy hint is at the fringe. Balance is good here; it fans out on the palate with some breadth and softness, but the acid is there sweeping through, with sweet fruit heading through the fresh finish. Very friendly and approachable all round.
