2022 Deep Down Sauvignon Blanc

12 bottles

In stock.

Winemaker Clive Dougall wanted to turn the volume down on the classic fruit driven style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and he’s done that using organically certified grapes as his starting point, which he fermented with wild yeasts with 35% of the fermentation in old puncheons. Malolactic fermentation followed in barrel with lees stirring and the result is a fresh, soft, floral scented Sauvignon with the  floral, elderflower and citrus flavours supported by a backbone of fresh acidity.

Nose: Tropical fruits on the nose, passionfruit, grapefruit and peach.

Palate: The palate gives a lot of citrus, dry with acidity. 

Pairings: Would be perfect with shellfish, vegetables or cheese.

96 pts - Winestate

Full of youthful vigour, this single-vineyard, Wairau Valley wine was harvested from 23 year-old vines and handled in a 2:1 mix of stainless steel tanks and seasoned oak puncheons. Bright, light lemon/green, it is medium-bodied, with ripe, tropical fruit flavours, showing a distinct touch of complexity, and a crisp, dry, lingering finish. Best drinking mid-2023+.

94 pts - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

Bright, light-mid yellow hue; smoky/funky sulfide aromas, some stony and honeyed nuances too. The wine is delicate and tensioned, refined and linear on the palate, with lovely citrus/lemon/lime and passionfruit/tropical flavours. Great drinkabilty and lots of charm. (Certified organic)
