Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2008

£136.74 per 12 In Bond

Another stunning vintage of their flagship wine, the 2008 displays flavours of passionfruit, gooseberry and freshly cut grass with underlying minerality. A richly-textured palate with layers of complexity and refined citrus acidity on the finish. - armit

London-based cinematographer Michael Seresin (Angela’s Ashes, Prisoner of Azkhaban and others) turned a private passion for wines into a business back in the mid-Nineties after buying up land in his native New Zealand. Now well-established as a quality operation which plays up its organically grown grapes and pursuit of wine-making the old-fashioned way, the results can be seen in this 2008 vintage of their flagship Sauvignon Blanc - crisp and creamy with a subtle nutty note from the oak barrels, and a strong citrus finish combine to elevate it above the rest of the sauvignon Marlborough pack.

  

 

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2009

£195.00 per 12 In Bond

£97.50 per 12 Special Offer

Generosity is the defining word for the 2009 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Its aromatics encapsulate a broad spectrum of varietal flavours; tropical fragrances of guava and mango to ripe lime/citrus and sweet herbs. The palate also is juicy and voluminous, combining concentrated flavours with a mineral acidity that leaves a long, fresh, intense finish.- armit

Cloudy Bay Vineyards was established in 1985 by Cape Mentelle Vineyards in Western Australia. The winery and vineyards are situated in the Wairau Valley in Marlborough and the winery takes its name from the bay at the eastern extremity of the Wairau Valley, which was named Cloudy Bay by Captain Cook on his voyage to New Zealand in 1770. Grapes were sourced from estate and grower vineyards located in the Rapaura, Fairhall, Renwick and Brancott sub-regions of the Wairau Valley. Free draining, stony soils typify the Rapaura and Renwick areas whilst Fairhall and Brancott are predominantly aged alluvial loams containing some clay. The majority of fruit was grown on a vertical shoot positioned (VSP) trellis with three canes laid down. In 2009, average sauvignon blanc yields were 9.52 Tonnes/hectare (3.85 Tonnes/acre).
