Vidal Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023.
Intense aromatics of passionfruit, tropical fruit and background fennel notes lead into a flavoursome, succulent palate in this dry styled wine. A classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that is fresh, pure and long on the palate reflecting the growing season and our premium vineyard sites.
VINEYARDS: Sourced from premium vineyards in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, these sites show a range of soil types from alluvial over a papa pan, silt over gravels and stony gravels. Attention to vine and soil health have contributed to optimum flavour and fruit condition. This classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has produced a wine with great purity, concentration and definition.
VINTAGE: The Marlborough growing season started off well with very little frost pressure during spring. Flowering went without a glitch, due healthy soil moisture levels the canopies looked lush and vibrant. The start of 2022 summer was slightly colder; February was below the long-term average in temperature however the weather settled with a slightly damp autumn.
WINEMAKING: Our Sauvignon Blanc winemaking philosophy at Vidal Estate is to produce wines that reflect where they are from and the season they were grown in, in a style that is balanced, defined and flavoursome. Juice from gently pressed grapes was cool fermented to retain purity, flavour and aromatics. Lees ageing prior to bottling has developed mid-palate weight and texture adding to the wine’s intense fruit characters.
ENJOY WITH
- Grilled and Roasted White Meats
- Fish/Shellfish
- Salads and Picnics
