100% Sauvignon Blanc. A single vineyard expression from the Ashmore Farm on the Southern side of the Wairau Valley at the foothills of a small mountain range (Around 450m elevation). Soils are a mix of silt, clays and some river gravels giving the wine a certain freshness and structure. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in a mix of stainless steel (65%)  and old 500L barrels (35%) with half the wine going through malolactic fermentation. The goal here is to ‘turn the volume down’ and create a Sauvignon Blanc that is fuller and richer than the typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, yet still light on its feet and showing an honest lens to the site and season.
