2021 | OTU | Limited Release Sauvignon Blanc

Perfect delicate yellow. Lime zest, red grapefruit, stone fruit – opens up to bolder tomato skin notes over time. A refined, bold and intensely vibrant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - distinctively Awatere Valley, sourced solely from our finest yielding blocks on the OTU Wine Estate. Bold intensity of ripe melon and lime zest build across the palate, offset by vibrant green apple acidity. Crisp and full-bodied with exceptional depth, this wine showcases outstanding minerality and length.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Offers vibrant Key lime pie, passion fruit and celery salt notes paired with ripe, fleshy and lush melon flavors at the core, with a refreshing thread of acidity.

• Wine Enthusiast: A heady musky perfume envelops the senses. There’s a bit of onion peel reduction, but the passion fruit, lime, grapefruit and fresh green bell pepper notes win out. The palate is dry with persistent, mouth[1]puckering acidity. Though this wine is still very young, its bones are strong. It just needs another year or two in the bottle to flesh out some more.

Producer Information

OTU Wine Estate brings together a unique, sea-swept terroir set at the edge of the Southern Ocean – where the ancient Otuwhero River runs through the lower valleys of Marlborough New Zealand – with an expert group of passionate people drawn from around the world of wine. Cradled between snowy mountains and at the edge of the South Pacific Ocean, OTU Wine Estate is remote coastal and rugged terroir – and along with low vigor soils and long sunshine hours, produces distinctively bold, ripe fruit flavors, and exquisitely expressive wines. Planted entirely in Sauvignon Blanc at the outset, OTU Estate is made up of multiple vineyard blocks, predominantly planted on exposed north eastern facing slopes which now include Pinot Noir.
