Esk Valley Sauvignon Blanc 75cl

Esk Valley is a boutique Hawkes Bay winery, led by veteran winemaker Gordon Russell. It is renowned for hand-crafted premium reds and elegant whites. Stony vineyard sites in the Wairau Valley (40%) and further south in the cooler Awatere Valley were selected for this wine. The Wairau Valley fruit provides the blended wine with structure and tropical fruit notes while the Awatere Vineyard offers acidity and pungent notes of nettle, pea pods and gooseberry. The vineyards are all carefully managed and crop thinned in the pursuit of quality fruit.
