KONRAD SAUVIGNON BLANC 2022

The Konrad Sauvignon Blanc is a style that spans both hemispheres.  We adhere to old world philosophies where the signature of the vineyard is uppermost while using new world winemaking techniques to respect the fruit we have grown.  The aromatics of this wine are intense yet classically restrained.  The primary aromas of nettles, gooseberry and grapefruit are complemented by exotic fruits, subtle spice and the barest hint of flint.  The palate is full flavoured and quite punchy for this vineyard, a hallmark of 2013.  It is a rich, mouth-filling style of Sauvignon with lovely doughy texture & impressive palate length.  It is a wine that will comfortably develop for the next 5-8 years into a complex, toasty wine of great depth and character.  Enjoy with classic European cuisine such as Vitello Tonnato (dish of cold, sliced veal covered with a creamy, mayonnaise-like sauce),bouillabaisse, freshly shucked oysters or try it with a Kiwi delicacy, freshly caught & grilled Paua (Abalone) then lie back & think of the sea.
