OTU Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023
New Zealand, Awatere Valley
Sauvignon Blanc
RRP £14.95
Description
Bold and intensely vibrant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - distinctively Awatere Valley, this wine is sourced solely from our finest steeply terraced, north facing blocks on the OTU Wine Estate.
The 2023 vintage was blessed with moderate rainfall, a late but prolific flowering period throughout November and December, and a stunning late, long summer. To ensure added texture and depth, after fermentation, the wine was kept on light lees for three months until bottling.
