Southern Clays is a special sub-region in the Wairau Valley, Marlborough. The site is located at the base of the dry eastern foothills. The soil type is predominantly clay which retains moisture throughout the growing season and produces intense textural wines. Sauvignon Blanc grapes require plenty of water throughout the growing season, the large leafy canopy helps produce intense tropical flavours and retain natural acidity.

Winemaker's Comment :

This sunny, warm and sheltered site produces intense fruit with powerful aromas of fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme, intermingled with exotic tropical fruits. The palate has an earthy texture from the dense clay soils, with rich flavours of ripe peach and mango, finishing with zesty acidity.

Alc: 13.0%
