Vavasour is from the first winemaker in the Awatere Valley and which has long experience in Marlborough.  It shows in this wine, which combines pear, asparagus and tropical characters in its intense aroma.  Citrus, tropical and more herbaceous flavours mingle nicely and there's clean acidity and length to the finish.  Otton desceibed it as 'a bold style. Lovely balanced ripeness and good texture.'

Outstanding Wine

“Concentrated mineral, green capsicum and lemongrass flavours that reflect lovely fruit purity.  Dry and long with an ethereal texture, this wine clearly has potential for bottle development”  Cellaring potential: Good drinking now or in the next 5 years
