Overview:
The 2022 Rabbit Island Nelson Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and expressive wine, crafted from meticulously managed vineyards in the bright and stony soils of the Brightwater region. The combination of low-nutrient soils and the moderating influence of the nearby coast ensures the grapes ripen slowly, leading to a wine of exceptional balance. This Sauvignon Blanc offers a fresh, tropical character with the distinctive purity that Nelson wines are known for, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a lively, refreshing white.
Tasting Notes:
This Sauvignon Blanc bursts with pure tropical fruit aromas, offering a lively and generous palate. Ripe, succulent flavours of passionfruit, guava, and citrus are perfectly balanced by a bright natural acidity that runs through the wine, creating a crisp and clean finish. The fruit is rich and vibrant, yet well-structured, with a lingering freshness that makes it wonderfully refreshing. Ideal for pairing with seafood, fresh salads, or light, zesty dishes, this wine captures the essence of the Nelson region in every sip.
