Terroir Select

2010 Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc

Te Kairanga Terroir Select is an exceptional Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Martinborough region, showcasing the unique character of its terroir. This white wine presents a radiant pale yellow hue with glimmering golden reflections. The aromas are vibrant and inviting, offering engaging notes of lemon zest, passion fruit, and freshly cut grass, perfectly balancing the mineral undertones that Martinborough is known for. On the palate, it exhibits refreshing acidity that gives way to a bright, lively mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is pronounced, enriching the experience with layers of tropical and citrus flavors that dance harmoniously. This wine, while expertly crafted, remains dry, making it an ideal companion for seafood dishes or light salads. Te Kairanga Terroir Select is a delightful representation of the region's winemaking prowess and a testament to the artistry involved in producing high-quality Sauvignon Blanc.

New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
