Crafted from Mission’s Awatere Valley vines, this vibrant Sauvignon Blanc delivers a lively fusion of elderflower, blackcurrant bud, and lemongrass. It's a natural match for woodfired pizza, barbecued prawns, or creamy goat’s cheese – and a table full of friends.

TASTING NOTES
The nose is fresh, bright and vibrant with gentle aromas of cut grass, nettles, gooseberries and piquant fresh herbs. On the palate the wine is bold, up-front and zesty with mouth-filling flavours of passionfruit, gooseberries and fresh herbs.
"Fragrant pear, florals and soft spice with a lingering crisp finish.”

Vineyard | The fruit is grown on the Blind River vineyard located in the Awatere Valley. The cool climate here is heavily influenced by the close proximity to the ocean. The gentle rolling slopes are on free-draining soils critical to restricting vine vigour which is excellent for development of fruit flavour intensity. The blocks are planted over a series of elevations which contribute balance and complexity to the final blend.
BALANCED
Balanced and well made with a lengthy refreshing finish.
