Tasting Notes

Kumeu River's 2018 Sauvignon Blanc comes from a vineyard in Hawke's Bay originally developed as a partnership between Trinity Hill and the Jolivet family of the Loire. It's made from handpicked fruit that was fermented with indigenous yeast and aged (briefly) in stainless steel. Nectarine and pink grapefruit notes mark the nose, while the medium-bodied palate boasts a silky texture, then finishes crisp and tangy, with hints of lime and fresh herbs. Drink Date: 2019 - 2020.
