Matawhero Single Vineyard Gisborne Sauvignon Blanc 2021 750ml
93 POINTS/ 5 STAR – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Machine harvested in the cool of the morning, the fruit is crushed and destemmed to the press and left on skins overnight. This increases the flavour and reduces the acidity in the wine. After 12 hours the juice was pumped out and separated from its lees to produce clear juice that was fermented cool with separate yeast to increase aromatic intensity. The wine was then stabilised, filtered and bottled. This has resulted in a wine with great texture and aromatic intensity.
