Matua Sauvignon Blanc Lands & Legends

General Information

This wine is powerfully aromatic, bursting with pineapple, passionfruit and sage. On the palate, punchy citrus and tropical flavours flow to an uplifting, lingering finish. Deliciously refreshing! The 2016 Marlborough growing season was a classic Warm, dry weather with just enough rain resulted in high yields, and produced grapes of excellent quality. We chose a precious few of the most expensive Sauvignon Blanc parcels from Marlborough to create something quite unique, and dare we say it, legendary. All our Sauvignon Blanc grapes are machine harvested in the cool of the night to ensure pristine condition and maximum aromas. Once in the winery, the fruit is pressed and cooled immediately, then allowed to settle naturally for 48 hours. The clear juice is then separated from the solids and one of our specially selected yeasts added. Selecting the right yeasts for the wine is essential, as it aids the release of the punchy aromas that are synonymous with Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. For two months prior to bottling, the wine was left to sit on light lees, building the luscious texture now found in this Lands & Legends wine.
