The wine is light straw in colour with
green highlights. Aromas of gooseberry,
stone fruits and red capsicum coupled
with the 'tomato stalk' signature of
Awatere Sauvignon Blanc are present. The
palate shows ripe gooseberry supported
by peach and a tantalizing minerality.
This wine displays a fantastic equilibrium
of concentrated fruit fl avours and zesty
acidity.
Cellaring and Food Matching
This wine can be matched with grilled
oysters, barbecued prawns or salmon
and poached white fi sh with fresh green
salads containing parsley, pepper or lemon.
Mediterranean and Turkish dishes with
hummus, olives and feta will also match
well. Though made to drink while young
and vivacious, this wine may be cellared
for up to three years to develop further
complexity.
