Aronui Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
New Zealand, Marlborough
Description
Grapes are grown on a range of both Kono owned sites and from dedicated growers located throughout the main viticultural areas of Marlborough. The Waihopai, Awatere and Rapaura sub-regions are all represented in this blend. Machine harvested grapes are pressed carefully at our winery before juice is settled until clear. Juice is then racked to stainless steel tanks and warmed before being inoculated with select yeasts. Ferments are controlled through temperature manipulation to retain aromatics in the wine and stopped with just a small amount of balancing residual sweetness. Un-fined

Harvest Notes
Cloudy, wet weather over the summer months meant dedicated work in the vineyard was needed to keep disease pressure at bay however the autumn months delivered optimal harvest conditions. Fruit was able to be picked at perfect ripeness with classic flavours and ideal levels of acidity and balance.
