This has aromas of grapefruit, lime zest, cedro peel, green pineapples, blanched almonds and jasmine. Juniper berries, too. Taut and flinty, with a medium body and sharp acidity, yet creamy and textured at the same time. From organically grown grapes. Unfiltered. Drink or hold.

This new special cuvee, launched for this biodynamic winery's 20th anniversary, is a finessed and beautiful bottling from vines on the estate's Greywacke river stones. Wild fermented, with time on lees in old Austrian oak and minimal sulfur, it's bright, upright and linear. Aromas of pineapple, peach, lime granita and white florals are underscored with fresh wild herbal tones like fennel and cilantro. The palate is slinky, with more tempered acidity than your typical Marlborough Sauvignon. The focus here is on texture, complexity and food friendliness. A beautiful expression of place from one of Marlborough's leading producers.
