Excelsior Sauvignon Blanc

"Inviting aromatics of honey and nectarine with a hint of floral notes leads to intense peach flavors on the palate. A sweet and tantalizing Late Harvest Riesling that leads to rich fruit and balanced sweetness on the finish." —winemaker

"As always, with this wine, we are attempting to capture the ‘essence of Marlborough’. We have selected various parcels of fruit to craft this wine, from the different sub-regions that make up the world’s favourite growing area for the variety. Each site adds a different aspect to the finished product, thus allowing us to give you an overview of what this wonderful region can achieve with Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp and refreshing, reverberating with aromas and flavours of citrus, gooseberry and passion fruit. Plus just a touch of herb on the lively finish. A quintessential New Zealand Sauvignon." —winemaker

"Light red fruits, red licorice, cinnamon, cocoa, orange peel, crushed gravel, and savory dried herbs. Medium body, flavors of cherry, cinnamon, dried herbs, and a touch of toast and vanilla. This wine is delicious, well rounded, and sure to be a crowd pleaser." —winemaker

Blend: 71% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Syrah

"This crisp, mouthwatering bottling is a blend of Excelsior’s three best Chardonnay blocks. It displays lively flavors of green apple, citrus, and pineapple on a full, creamy palate. Traces of peach, orange blossom and delicate toasty notes combine with a mineral edge to round out this versatile everyday sipper, a consistent crowd pleaser." —winemaker
