Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc 2023, 75cl, White Wine from New Zealand, Dry, Vegan, 12% ABVBy Winebuyers

Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a sublime expression of Nelson's flavours, unique to this corner of New Zealand. This bright, affirmative Sauvignon Blanc rises above New Zealand's other regional Sauvignons in terms of raciness and texture. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes from vineyards in Tasman, Upper Moutere and Waimea Plains, the fruit was cold pressed to tank for fermentation, settled and racked, allowed to rest on fine lees for 8 months prior to slight filtration and bottling. A breezy, maritime nose of seagrass and salinity greets a palate of concentrated margarita zest, green and red apple notes with a rich mouthfeel, fine leesy texture and an intense finish of breadth, freshness and further telltale salinity. Perfect with scallops seared in butter, chilli prawn linguine, goats cheese and roast red pepper salad.
