Highfield Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2010
Light-Medium Bodied, Dry, White, Sauvignon Blanc, Drink now or over the next couple of years, 13% alc.
Meticulous grape selection, the use of only free run juice (no pressings), and cold fermentation contribute to an abundant spectrum of herbal and tropical aromas. Extended lees contact adds depth, texture and balance to the palate. Bottled under Stelvin (screwcap) closure.
"Although it does have typical gooseberry, capsicum and mineral flavours this wine is more about texture than flavor profile. It's a rich, mouth-filling wine with a seasoing of nutty yeast lees character for extra interest. Sophisticated and appealing wine that's a little out of the typically pungently fruity Marlborough mould." 89 points - Bob Campbell MW
“A truly stunning Sauvignon from the Highfield Estate. The carefully selected grapes are picked and sorted prior to cold fermentation. This retains the typical tropical fruit and herbal aromas associ- ated with the Marlborough region. The nose is dominated by intense citrus tones of gooseberry and passionfruit with a top note of spicy red pepper zinging straight out of the glass. Fermentation is extended on the sediment to impart additional depth, balance and texture to the wine - so often missing with some Sauvi- gnons. On the palate the wine is alive with crisp fruits exciting the tastebuds to a finish which you can remember the following day.” (2009 vintage) Barrel and Bottles, UK

Tinpot Hut Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Light-Bodied, Dry, White, Sauvignon Blanc, Drink Now, 13.5% alc
The Tin Pot Hut Sauvignon is blend of 2/3 Awatere and 1/3 Wairau fruit. The nose has the typical Awatere 'lift'; a combination fresh herbs; lemon grass and thyme, with touches of blackcurrant bud, citrus peel and mineral. The palate is dry, with lovely silky fruit flavours in the cool climate spectrum; capsicum, nettle, minerally, almost crystallised fruit. There is good mid palate weight, the addition of Wairau fruit giving a little flesh and richness, and a long finish.
