Ata Rangi Sauvignon Blanc 2008, Martinborough, New Zealand

Owner and winemaker, Clive Paton, says, “Hand-picking Sauvignon Blanc is pretty unusual - but we do it anyway. We also go to great lengths to keep each of the five very different contributing blocks of fruit separate at fermentation. Some years we choose to pick the warmer, ‘riper’ side of rows before going back a week or so later to harvest the remaining bunches, when we’re happy the flavours are just right. We’d like to think this somewhat obsessive attention to detail is what sets us apart.” Zesty passion fruit, citrus, and delicate elderflower top notes meld with hints of nettle and fresh picked snow-peas in this precociously fresh Sauvignon Blanc. Martinborough’s dry, windy climate consistently delivers low yields, and this variety is no exception. Resulting wines are concentrated and complex and, in this case, also enhanced by fermenting 15% in older barrels.

Price $22

Graziano Sauvignon Blanc 2006, Mendocino
