About the Wine

TASTING NOTE
This is the inaugural release of Windward, produced specifically for a limited number of markets in the United States. This wine captures what we believe are some of our most exciting parcels of Sauvignon Blanc in a given vintage. We have managed to hold a small amount in New Zealand to share with you.

Colour / Appearance: Pale lemon.

Aroma / Bouquet: Focused and refined aromatics of white peach, lemongrass, blackcurrant bud, passionfruit and nettle with complexing sea spray and wet river stone notes in support.

Palate: A wine of absolute purity, fine detail and clarity of expression with impressive concentration and flavour persistence. The aromatic characters follow onto the palate with a lovely saline and mineral texture leaving the palate wanting more.

Cellaring: We recommend drinking our 2022 Windward Sauvignon Blanc over the next 3 years but believe it will continue developing gracefully with careful cellaring

Food Match: This wine is produced with food in mind and will beautifully accompany oysters, fresh seafood, Japanese cuisine, light poultry meals and goat’s cheeses

Serve: Lightly chilled.
