Butterworth Sauvignon Blanc 2021 Te Muna New Zealand 750ml

"Pineapple, sage, blood orange, and grapefruit pith are primarily evident, along a seam of vanilla bean custard. The nose has savoury mineral elements adding to the complexity" - Martin Bell, winemaker

The wine has a light golden hue with aromas of pineapple, sage, basil, and grapefruit pith against a background of cedar. The nose has savoury mineral elements adding to the complexity.

20 months on gross lees has given the wine a rich mid-palate oiliness, with the Te Muna acidity pulling the length further with a hint of herbal phenolic grip.
