Produced by the famed Sherwood Estate, the Stratum 2012 Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes grown in the Wairau Valley in the heart of Marlborough and some from estates in Waipara further south on the South Island's east coast. Harvested in the cool of the night to protect the grapes, the fruit was cool fermented over the course of four weeks to retain freshness and aromatic fruit characteristics. From the winery: "The Stratum 2012 Sauvignon Blanc shows rich gooseberry, citrus and tropical fruit aromas with an edge of mineral complexity. The palate is lively and refreshing with a long, lingering finish." We think this is a very good example of NZ Sauv Blanc for an excellent price! This is a real staff favorite.
