Clouston & Co Sauvignon Blanc

Clouston & Co Sauvignon Blanc

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • The Clouston & Co Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from their premium vineyard sites with restricted yields that are located in the Southern Wairau and Awatere Valleys of Marlborough.
  • The vineyard soils are friable silt loams over alluvial gravels.
  • This wine style is vibrant, refreshing and elegant.
  • Clouston & Co uses sustainable farming practices and the wine is vegan friendly.

Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Elaboration: Fermented predominately in stainless steel tanks with a small portion in concrete egg tank and clay amphora. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for six months.

Tasting Notes: A delight to the senses with its pale straw color and captivating aromas of feijoa (Pineapple Guava), elderflower, guava, currant, and wet stone. The palate is indulged with a burst of juicy lime zest, while the mouthfeel is nothing short of elegant, refined, and focused.
