Cooler spring temperatures gave us naturally restricted yields for the 2007 vintage, ideal for the concentration of flavour found in the Redwood Pass Sauvignon.  A superbly dry autumn allowed us to let the fruit develop to optimum maturity.

Fruit for the 2007 Redwood Pass Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in the cool of night to retain flavour and freshness. Careful winemaking, and specific yeast strains, were used at our Awatere Valley Winery, so that the vibrant fruit flavours from the vineyard could be preserved. 

The 2006 Redwood Pass Sauvignon Blanc is a pale straw colour. On the nose it shows ripe passionfruit , guava and fragrant citrus notes, balanced by a great mineral acidity. The palate is full flavoured ripe melon and lime with lingering gooseberry flavours. This wine is crisp and dry and will complement a wide variety of food. Try with goats cheese salad.
