Vineyard
Fruit for this wine was sourced from premium vineyards in the Wairau Valley (85%) and the Awatere Valley (15%). These sites show a range of soil types from alluvial over a papa pan, silt over gravels and stony gravels. Meticulous attention
to vine and soil health, yield control and vine balance have contributed to optimum flavour and fruit condition at the time of harvest. This classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from the 2018/2019 growing season has produced a wine with great purity, concentration and definition.Winemaking
Our Sauvignon Blanc winemaking philosophy at Vidal Estate is to produce wines that reflect where they are from and the season they were grown in, in a style that is balanced, defined and flavoursome. Juice from gently pressed grapes was cool fermented to retain purity, flavour and aromatics. Lees ageing prior to bottling has developed mid-palate weight and texture adding to the wine’s intense fruit characters.
