The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is a zesty, bright style with a delicate spritz providing extra liveliness. This is Hawke's Bay, so the acidity is not as racy as you'd find in Marlborough, but it's still plentiful and some CO2 gives extra pizzazz. Flavor-wise, it favors the tropical fruit spectrum of Sauvignon Blanc but also shows a hint of nettle greens that reflects its variety. While light in body, there is some richness in terms of mid-palate weight, which winemaker Phil Brodie suggests comes down to lower cropping. The 2023 is one for enjoying in its zesty youth.
