Earthsong, Dillon's Point Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2022
100% Sauvignon Blanc - 12.5% abv.
This Sauvignon will rock your senses. The fruit concentration is fantastic providing a depth of flavour rising above other NZ sauvignons, and an unusual and moreish mineral finish. The acid is incredibly well-balanced, and elevates the green apple and gooseberry notes. If you love Sauvignon, buy this; if you hate Sauvignon, let this momentarily change your mind.
The palate is rich, bright and zesty with a slight briny tang. There are hints of blackcurrant and grapefruit too. This wine has a real intensity of fruit, with a lovely crisp, mineral finish.

Sourced from one, regeneratively farmed vineyard in the renowned Dillon’s Point area of the lower Wairau. The vineyard is not tilled, extensive cover crops are used and sheep are run in the vineyard over winter to provide nutrients. During the growing season, vines are shoot thinned to provide ideal fruit exposure and ripeness. Proximity to the ocean provides night time cooling which helps to preserve the crisp acids and brininess.
Fruit is the star of the show here so winemaking is relatively simple. Machine harvested cool to preserve freshness. Fermented in tank and matured on fine lees in tank until bottling.
