This wine is super easy drinking with lime, guava and tang on the tounge. A long clean finish sums up this fresh wine with a lovely expression of a New Zealand classic.
Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2017 is all about texture, refreshment and refinement. Grapefruit and lime juice on the nose, with notes of white flowers, quince and cardamom.

French oak.
The wine expands into fennel, currants, elderflower, pears, honey and sweet nectarine on the palate. Ripe sub-tropical fruit is balanced by a long, dry finish with a crisp edge and floral, delicate lift.
The separate parcels were each destemmed and lightly crushed, then cooled before a brief period of skin contact. Following pressing and cold-settling, they were run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for fermentation. The resulting wines were aged on lees, with regular stirring, for a further 10 months before blending in January 2018. The blend was returned to tank for further maturation on fine lees, before fining and bottling.
