Convergence Sauvignon Blanc 2023

$22.00

The name Convergence signifies the coming together of flavours from our Wairau and Awatere Valley vineyards and 2023 Marks the 20th vintage.

With its bright luminosity and a slight green-olive hue, this sauvignon blanc bursts with flavours of kiwi fruit, red capsicum, passionfruit, and gooseberry. The palate is powerful, concentrated, and energetic with a lingering, juicy, mouth-watering acidity, good balance, length, and purity of fruit.

Reviews

“Still very youthful, this vivacious wine is highly aromatic and full-bodied, with very good intensity.” – Michael Cooper | 4 1/2 stars

Reviews

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit | 5 stars, 95 points 

With brilliant clarity and intensity, the impressively aromatic bouquet shows kaffir lime, jalapeno, kiwifruit and jasmine notes, leading to a wonderfully structured palate that’s packed with vibrant fruit flavours. Beautifully complemented by saline texture and bright acidity, making it mouth-watering and highly enjoyable.

Michael Cooper | 4 -1/2 stars

Subtle, rather than pungent, the finely textured 2023 vintage (4.5*) is still unfolding.

Candice Chow | 95 Points | 5 stars

This Sauvignon Blanc is elegantly presented with tropical and herbaceous nuances, showing purity on the silky palate.

 

Winemaking

Lightly pressed, the juice was fermented cool, predominately in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and distinctive varietal character. A small portion was fermented in concrete egg tank and clay amphora to add a grainy texture to the palate. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for three months to gain complexity and increase mouthfeel.
