THE CROSSINGS SAUVIGNON BLANC 2021

Tasting Notes: The 2021 Crossings Sauvignon Blanc radiates purity of site. With layers of tropical fruits, herbal notes and flowering herbs, this wine has an enticing bouquet synonymous with Awatere Valley. The palate is brimming with pure fruit and bright fresh acidity that drives a complex and mineral finish.

Enjoy with both fresh and cooked seafood dishes such as classic fish and chips, fresh oysters and barbeque prawns.

Viticulture & Winemaking: This is the earliest harvest on record since our inception on the 08.08.08. There were late spring frosts in Marlborough and some challenging weather over the flowering period, which resulted in moderate crops throughout the region. These moderate crops coupled with a warm and stable end to the growing season, set us up for an early start with stunning fruit. We had clear warm days throughout March, so we could pick at our leisure, without any pressure from the elements.

The resulting wine is showcasing the wonderful hallmarks Awatere vineyards are known for – highly aromatic fruit flavors, with underlying purity and minerality. The grapes were harvested in ideal condition, picking the terraced blocks at the point of optimum flavor development. Parcel of grapes from Willowflat, Medway and Brackenfield Vineyards (Awatere Valley) were picked and fermented separately, allowing us to enhance varietal character using carefully selected yeast strains. A

long, cool fermentation took place to retain purity of flavors. The wine was then

blended, stabilized and filtered prior to bottling. We were incredibly lucky to be

granted permission to create these wines during the global pandemic crisis. For

this reason, our 2020 wines carry some very unique memories.
