The grapes come from New Zealand's most famous wine region, Marlborough. It is particularly known for its highly accessible style of wines. The climate is excellent for grape growing, with a maritime climate that lends the wines unique aromas. The warm daytime alternates with cool nights, which is conducive to ripening.
Bishop's Leap Sauvignon Blanc is a true New Zealand wine with all the wonderful characteristics! The grapes were harvested in the cool of the evening, at peak ripeness. After harvest, the grapes are rigorously selected and gently pressed, avoiding contact with the skins as much as possible. The juice is then cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness.
This gives it a fruity aroma. With refined yet present notes of gooseberry, passion fruit, citrus, and honey. The taste is wonderfully crisp and fresh, with lively hints of citrus, passion fruit, and freshly mown grass. Beautifully crisp and dry with plenty of fruit nuances. The long and slightly explosive finish completes this New Zealand gem!
