Dashwood Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 75cl

More about Dashwood Sauvignon Blanc ... Brimming with zesty grapefruit, lime and Meyer lemon with mid-palate flavours of pear and passion fruit; a perfect balance between refreshing citrus flavours and tropical flavours married well with grassy herbaceousness. The complexity, mouth-feel and balance of this night-harvested wine are usually only found in wines that are more expensive.

Dashwood sources grapes from both the Awatere and Wairau valleys: Wairau to the north produces fruit with more tropical fruit flavours; whilst the fruit from Awatere provides more freshness and minerality. The combination of fruit from both results in increased complexity in the finished wines. The flower of Pohutukawa or the New Zealand Christmas Tree is depicted on Dashwood labels. The first settlers used its blossom to decorate their homes at Christmas time – it was already used in Maori folklore as an indicator of the approaching harvest. It is one of the world’s toughest coastal trees and has gained footholds in the most inhospitable of rock crevices where continual lashings of salt-laden winds and drenching with salt water are the norm; oysters have even been found on branches which have been submerged during high tide.
