Te Wā, ‘time and place’ in te reo Māori pays homage to the distinctive wine style delivered by the stony, alluvial gravels and the cool climate of the Martinborough Terrace. In search of expressing our place, Te Wā Sauvignon Blanc is hand-picked and sorted carefully to select only clean bunches. It is then broken into portions, with 100% whole bunch fermentations, destemmed fruit fermented on skins in large oak hatch barrels and then the remaining portions pressed and fermented in oak barrels and small stainless-steel tanks. This blend of skins fermentations with the more traditional pressed juice results in an exotically perfumed wine. Four years in bottle have added further wonderful complexity. Aromas of papaya, waxy lemon zest and toasted rice meld together on the nose. The palate is intense and weighty with fresh acidity driving a long and full finish. Perfectly in balance this Sauvignon Blanc is in the perfect drinking window; serious texture, depth of aroma while remaining fresh and playful.
