Tasting Notes
Thornbury Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Tasting Notes

Pure Marlborough! The bouquet displays pungent passionfruit and gooseberry aromas. The palate shows excellent balance and intensity of flavour. This wine is crisp and minerally in style finishing with mouth filling persistence.

Food Match

Enjoy as an aperitif with flavoursome antipasti such as goats feta, olives and sun-dried tomatoes, or try with seafood or vegetarian dishes.

Winemakers Notes

Selected Sauvignon Blanc parcels were chosen and carefully harvested. Fruit was destemmed, gently pressed and the juice was cool fermented with selected yeasts to maximise and retain as much varietal flavour and aroma as possible. Lees aging has helped develop the palate weight and further enhanced the intensity and structure of this wine.

Cellaring

Drink now until 2009
