Brancott Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

This Sauvignon Blanc is pale straw in color with green highlights. The wine has ripe tropical notes balancing nettle aromatics, almost pungent in their intensity, with highlights of ripe grapefruit and white blossoms. The palette again shows intensity with white stone fruit and pink grapefruit balancing refreshing nettle flavors. The almost pungent character adds weight and a spectrum of fruit sweetness with crisp acidity adding support to the structure.
