Neudorf Tiritiri Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Textural interest is a major component for Neudorf, and 65% wild ferment and 20% barrel fermentation has a moderating effect on the high tone nature of this variety. Aromatics of green papaya with vibrant florals and a touch of fennel. The mouthfeel of the palate is weighty, juicy and opulent, with elegant acidity lending a refreshingly cleansing spine.

"Made from fruit purchased off the Waimea Plains, the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc was fermented entirely with indigenous yeasts and 40% was done in barrel. It offers up fragrant notes of snap peas and pink grapefruit, is medium-bodied and silky-textured in the mouth and finishes with hints of nectarine on the long finish." robertparker.com

Aromatics of green papaya with vibrant florals and a touch of fennel. Nice and weighty in the mouth, juicy and opulent, balanced with elegant underlying acidity.
