True to the Crowded House style, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc displays grapefruit and citrus notes with overlaying tropical and stone-fruit flavours and a gentle herbaceous undercurrent. The palate is quintessentially Marlborough and captures the concentration of the vintage strikingly vibrant with a full, rich mouthfeel and elegant, integrated acidity ensuring the flavours carry on and on. If ever there was a year to let the fruit shine, this was the year. Winemaking was therefore very simple with stainless steel tank fermentation used throughout. At its aromatic peak for the first two years of its life. The gentle acidity ensures early drinking will be a pleasure.

Perfect as an aperitif in its youth, the wine will match with fresh seafood, aromatic dishes such as herb and lemon roasted chicken, grilled vegetables and salads.
