WINEMAKERS NOTE
In the vineyard, leaves were removed from around the fruiting zone to allow lightpenetration and air movement around the ripening bunches. Parcels of fruit werepicked when flavours, sugars and grape acids were nicely in balance, giving fruit withintensely varietal flavours and a fresh, lasting acidity.
TASTING NOTE
The 2020 Old Coach Road Nelson Sauvignon Blanc has a pale straw colour. The nose is expressive and bright with melon, lime and basil leaf. The palate is full and flavoursome with passionfruit, sugar snap peas and lasting mineral acidity lingering on the palate. 
 
“...immensely appealing with passionfruit, green kiwifruit, mango and lemon zest aromas on the nose, followed by a gorgeously flavoursome palate that's juicy and lively...”
