WAIPARA HILLS EQUINOX SAUVIGNON BLANC 2015

This Equinox Sauvignon Blanc has been handcrafted to capture the unique essence of the Waipara Valley. Aromas of crisp stone fruit and a touch of smoky oak leads into rich, mouth-filling flavours of nectarine and white peach, beautifully balanced with mineral acidity and a lingering finish. Fermented in French oak barriques (15 percent new) and then aged in the same vessels, it builds in a subtle texture and structure which works well with the riper, more sun exposed fruit used in this barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc. Delicious served with fresh shellfish.
