A sublime expression of Nelson's falvours which are unique to this corner of NZ. Bright, affirmative Sauvignon Blanc which positively rises above New Zealand's other regional Sauvignons in terms of raciness and texture.
A breezy, maritime nose of seagrass and salinity with pink citrus notes greets a palate of concentrated margarita zest, green and red apple notes with a rich mouthfeel, fine leesy texture and an intense finish of breadth, freshness and further telltale salinity. Feels like a breezy walk on a sunny beach.
Heaphy Vineyard is a small winery in the north-west corner of New Zealand's South Island, a region named Nelson Tasman. The winery is situated high above Tasman Bay on the Moutere Hills, where the 10ha of long-established vineyards are defined by Moutere's signature clay soils. First planted in 1973, the vines are amongst the very oldest productive vineyards in New Zealand.
100% Sauvignon Blanc from vineyards in Tasman, Upper Moutere and Waimea Plains. Fruit was cold pressed to tank for fermentation, settled and racked, allowed to rest on fine lees for 8 months prior to slight filtration and bottling.
Scallops seared in butter, chilli prawn linguine, goats cheese and roast red pepper salad.
