Gooseneck Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Gooseneck Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc is a juicy, true New Zealand style sauvignon blanc, set apart from the surrounded competitors by its elegance and multidimensional layers. Tantalizing banana and passion fruit aromas encapsulate the bouquet. Vivacious juicy stone fruits, fused with bursting notes of pink grapefruit on the pallet, bring a finish of dry elegance of sophistication.

The 2017 growing season was challenging and one of the Marlborough’s most surprising years. Cool temperatures and rain after the Christmas break slowed ripening, so with disease pressure greater than seen for more than 10 years, grapes were picked at lower sugar levels that traditional years. Expecting greener styles of wine, they were pleasantly surprised to see tropical fruits, juicy tasty fruits, resulting in a wine with great structure and length.
