Tasting Notes: Lifted notes of fresh grapefruit and tropical fruits on the nose leading to a fresh palate with concentrated fruit flavours and a mouth-watering finish.
There are Marlborough Sauvignons, and then there is Kuki. The Kuki range of wines are made to exacting specifications, and the result of many months of tasting and comparing. We wanted more fruit, more zest, more intensity and a lot more complexity, so we have blended different plots and terroirs of Marlborough to give a higher quality wine - this is ripe, intense and deliciously elegant with layers of gooseberry, passionfruit and lime leaf, citrus layers add structure along with a pronounced minerality and floral finish. A delicious Marlborough Sauvignon from this top New Zealand wine producer.
This wine is made from fruit sourced across both Marlborough and the Awatere Valleys. Each vineyard batch is picked in the early monring to preserve the grapes' natural freshness and the individual batches kept separate, gently pressed and cold settled into steel tanks. The juice is racked and inoculated with selected yeast to initiate a long, cool, closely-monitored ferment, and once the wine reaches perfect balance af acidity, varietal character and minerality it is chilled and racked off its fine yeast lees. The wine is then allowed to relax in tank before blending, fining and filtering.
Kuki produces wines from the Marlborough region of New Zealand's South Island and demonstrates why wines from this area are so popular. Sunny, dry days and cool nights provide a long growing season which helps give the wines their vibrant flavours.
