Stoney River Sauvignon Blanc - Gisborne 2022
Sourced from our own Gisborne vineyards, this elegant and easily approachable Sauvignon Blanc is softer and more refined than its ‘zestier’ Marlborough counterpart. Gisborne’s warmer climate, coastal influence and fertile soils enable us to produce a softer, more delicate style of Sauvignon Blanc with layers of ripe fruit and subtle savoury nuances.
"Attractively fruited and brightly expressed, the wine shows apricot, green rockmelon, grapefruit and lemon zest aromas on the nose, leading to a flavoursome palate displaying lovely vibrancy and juicy acidity, finishing long and tasty."
